This law is known as Ohm's Law

V=I*R
where V is the voltage, I is the current, and R is the resistance
Science lesson aside, this is easy. In this case, voltage is constant.
First, if we multiply 5 A by 50 ohms, we get 250 V. That is our goal.
What can be multiplied by 2 to get to 250? 125. So the resistance is 125 ohms, given that the voltage is constant, and the current is 2 amperes

Current varies inversely with resistance :


\text { Current = } \frac{k}{\text {resistence}}

When Current = 5A, resistance = 50 ohm


5 = (k)/(50)


k = 5 * 50


k = 250

So the equation is :


\boxed { \boxed {\text { Current = } \frac{250}{\text {resistence}} }}}

When current = 2 A,


2A = \frac{250}{\text {resistence}}


\text {resistence} = (250)/(2)


\text {resistence} = 125

Answer: When current is 2A, resistence is 125 ohms.
