Question

A certain device in a 100 V circuit has a current of 34 A flowing through it. What is the resistance of the device? Rearrange the equation Current = Voltage Resistance to express resistance in terms of current and voltage.

Answer 1

The resistance of the device is
`R=2.94\Omega`.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression for the voltage in terms of resistance and current is as follows:

V=IR

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

It is given in the problem that a certain device in a 100 V circuit has a current of 34 A flowing through it.

Calculate the resistance by rearranging the above expression.

`R=(V)/(I)`

Put I= 34 A and V= 100 V.

`R=(100)/(34)`

`R=2.94\Omega`

Therefore, the resistance of the device is
`R=2.94\Omega`.
