Question

A heating coil operates on 220 V if it draws 15.0 A. Find it's resistance

Answer 1

R ≈ 15 ohms

Step-by-step explanation:

Using ohm's law equation,

I = V/R, to solve for the resistance of the heating coil.

R = V/I

Known:

V = 220 v = 220 kgm^2s^-3A^-1

I = 15 A

Unknown:

R =?

Solution:

R = (220 kgm^2s^-3A^-1)/ 15.0 A

R = 14.6 kgm^2s^-3A^-2

R ≈ 15 kgm^2s^-3A^-2

R ≈ 15 ohms
