The current, I, varies inversely to the resistance, R. If the current is 250 milliamperes

when the resistance is 5 ohms, find the current when the resistance is 20 ohms.
a) 124.5 milliamperes
b) 50 milliamperes
C)62.5 milliamperes
d) 1250 milliamperes

Answer:

C

Explanation:

First find the voltage which is current times resistance. Convert milliamperes to amperes. Divide 250/1000 because amperes are 1000 times smaller. That results in 0.25. So multiply 0.25 A by 5 ohms. That is 1.25. Now divide 20 by 1.25 which is 0.0625. Convert that to millamperes by multiplying by 1000. That gives you 62.5 millamperes.
