Question

How many ohms of resistance must be present in a circuit that has 240 volts and a current of 15 amps?

Answer 1

THE ANSWER IS 16 ohms or however its spelled

Answer 2

Answer: The correct answer is 16 ohms.

Step-by-step explanation:

The mathematical expression from Ohm's law is as follows;

V=IR

Here, I is the current, V is the potential and R is the resistance.

It is given in the problem that the potential in the circuit is 240 V and the current is 15 A.

Calculate the resistance by rearranging the above expression.

`R=(V)/(I)`

Put I= 15 A and V= 240 V.

`R=(240)/(15)`

R= 16 ohms

Therefore, the value of the resistance is 16 ohms.
