Resistance is equal to 8 ohms according to ohm's law.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ohm's law describes the relationship between the voltage, current and resistance.

Ohm's law states that current is directly proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to resistance.

According to Ohm's law V = I × R

The units of voltage are measured in volts, current in amperes, and resistance in ohms.

Given data : Voltage = 48 volts

Current = 6 Amps

Substituting given data in ohm's law

48 = 6 × R

R = 8 ohms

Therefore, resistance is equal to 8 ohms fro the given data.
