Question

An electric pencil sharpener is powered by 6 volts. The current through the pencil sharpener is 0.5 amps. What's is the resistance?

Answer 1

Resistance in pencil sharpener = 12 ohms

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Voltage in pencil sharpener = 6 volts

Current in pencil sharpener = 0.5 amps

Find:

Resistance in pencil sharpener

Computation:

Resistance = Voltage / Current

Resistance in pencil sharpener = Voltage in pencil sharpener / Current in pencil sharpener

Resistance in pencil sharpener = 6 / 0.5

Resistance in pencil sharpener = 12 ohms
