Answer 1

Electric Current (I) = 15 Amperes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Resistance (R) = 8 ohms

Outpet (V) = 120 V

Find:

Current (I) = ?

Computation:

⇒ Electric Current (I) = Outpet (V) / Resistance (R)

⇒ Electric Current (I) = 120 / 8

⇒ Electric Current (I) = 15 Amperes

15 Amperes, current will draw.
