Question

a desktop computer and monitor together draw about 2 A of current they plug into a wall outlet that is 120 V what is the Resistance, in ohms, of the computer monitor combination

Answer 1

`60 \Omega`

Step-by-step explanation:

the relation between current, voltage and resistance in an electrical circuit is given by Ohm's law:

`V=IR`

where V is the voltage, I is the current and R is the resistance. In this problem, the current is I=2 A, the voltage is V=120 V, therefore we can arrange the previous equation and find the resistance:

`R=(V)/(I)=(120 V)/(2 A)=60 \Omega`
