Answer:

R = 160 Ω

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, we will simply apply Ohm's law to find the resistance in the circuit. Ohm's law is as follows:

Voltage = Current x Resistance

We can solve the law for resistance:

Resistance = Voltage / Current

And now we just plug in our values:

Resistance = 5.6V / 35mA

Resistance = 5.6V / 0.035 A

Resistance = 160 Ω

Hence the resistance of the circuit is 160 Ω.
