There is a 120 V circuit in a house that is a dedicated line for the dishwasher, meaning the dishwasher is the only resistor on that circuit line. If the dishwasher draws 18 A of electricity, what would the resistance of the dishwasher be? Round the answer to the nearest hundredth of an ohm. Ω

R = V/I

R = 120v/18A

R = 6.67 Ohms

... NO MATTER how many other devices are connected (in parallel) on the same circuit.
