Answer 2

(1) 0.04 ohms (2) 55 ohms (3) 13 volt

Step-by-step explanation:

(1) The resistance of an electric device is 40,000 microhms.

We need to convert it into ohms.

`1\ \mu \Omega =10^(-6)\ \Omega`

To covert 40,000 microhms to ohms, multiply 40,000 and 10⁻⁶ as follows :

`40000 \ \mu \Omega =40000 * 10^(-6)\ \Omega\\\\=0.04\ \Omega`

(2) Voltage used, V = 110 V

Current, I = 2 A

We need to find the resistance of the iron. Using Ohms law to find it as follows :

V = IR, where R is resistance

`R=(V)/(I)\\\\R=(110)/(2)\\\\R=55\ \Omega`

(3) Current, I = 0.2 A

Resistance, R = 65 ohms

We need to find the applied voltage in the circuit. Using Ohms law to find it as follows :

V=IR

V = 0.2 × 65

V = 13 volt
