Question

1.5 A. It is plugged into a 120-V outlet. What is the resistance

Answer 1

Answer: 80 ohms

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Current (I) = 1.5 A

Voltage of outlet (V) = 120-V

Resistance (R) = ?

Voltage is the product of current and resistance i.e voltage = current x resistance

120-V = 1.5 A x R

R = 120-V / 1.5 A

R = 80 ohms

Thus, the resistance is 80 ohms
