Question

How many ohms of resistance must be present in a circuit that has 240 volts and a current of 15 amps?

ОА.
3,600 ohms
О В.
16 ohms
230 ohms
D. 0.063 ohms

Answer 1

b-16ohms

Step-by-step explanation:

If you are using online learning/PLATO the answer is proven to be B-16 ohms

Answer 2

16 ohms

Step-by-step explanation:

V= I ⋅ R

where, V is the net potential difference in the circuit, I is the current in the circuit and R is the net resistance of the circuit.

In this case, V = 240 volts, I = 15 amperes.

240 = 15 ⋅ R

⇒ R = 240/ 15 = 16 ohms
