Answer:

R = 40 ohms

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The voltage of outlet, V = 120 V

Current flowing through the device, I = 3 A

We need to find the Resistance rating of the power cord. Let the resistance is R. We know that,

Ohm's law, V = IR

Put all the values,


R=(V)/(I)\\\\R=(120)/(3)\\\\R=40\ \Omega

So, the resistance rating of the power cord is equal to 40 ohms.
