Question

What is the resistance of an electric frying pan that draws 12 amperes of current when connected to 120 Volt circuit

Answer 1

10 ohms

Explanation

the resistance of an electric circuit is given by:

$\begin{gathered} R=\frac{V}{I} \\ where\text{ R is the resitance} \\ Vi\text{s the voltage} \\ I\text{ is the current} \end{gathered}$

so

Step 1

a) let

$\begin{gathered} R=R \\ V=120\text{ volts} \\ I=12\text{ Amperes} \end{gathered}$

b) now, replace in the expression

$\begin{gathered} R=\frac{V}{I} \\ R=\frac{120\text{ volt}}{12\text{ Amp}} \\ R=10\text{ ohms} \end{gathered}$

therefore, the answer is

10 ohms
