Question

An electric motor supplies 2,500 Watts of power in a 220 V circuit. What is the resistance of the motor? Be sure to include the proper units in your answer. Remember... Ω is the unit for Resistance.

Answer 1

R = 19.36 ohms

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The power of an electric motor, P = 2500 Watts

The voltage of the circuit, V = 220 V

We need to find the resistance of the motor. We can find it as follows :

`P=(V^2)/(R)\\\\R=(V^2)/(P)\\\\R=((220)^2)/(2500)\\R=19.36\ \Omega`

So, the resistance of the motor is 19.36 ohms.
