Question

Can someone help me with this physics equation please I am really in need of help

If 120 V is applied to refrigerator with a resistance of 14.0 2, calculate the
current flowing through the refrigerator.

Answer 1

The current is approximately 8.571 Amps

Explanation:

You are supposed to use Ohm's Law for this problem.

Recall that Ohm's Law gives you the relationship between voltage applied (V), resistance (R) and current (I):

`V=I\,*\,R`

If the units of resistance are ohms, and the voltage is in volts, the current will be given in Amps (amperes). Then solving for the current (I) in the above equation:

`I=(V)/(R) \\I=(120)/(14) \\I=8.571\,\,Amps`
