Question

Two electronics technicians are looking at the technical manual for a piece of electronic equipment. The manual refers to a particular resistor as a "2.2 megohm resistor." Technician A says that this means that the resistance value of the resistor is 22,000 ohms. Technician B says that this means that the resistor can safely carry a current of 2,200,000 amperes. Which of the following statements is correct?

Answer 1

The answer for the question shown above: Neither of them.
The explanation is:
1 megaohm=1x10^6 ohm, therefore, 2.2 megaohm=2.2x10^6=2,200,000 ohm. So, the statement of the Technician B is false.
The statement of the Technician A does not has sense, because the amount of current that passes through the resistor also depends of the voltage. To the resistor can carry a current of that magnitude the voltage must be ridiculously big: 4x10^36 V
