Question

19. Find the current in a circuit if the power is 500 W (watts) and the resistance is 25 ohms. Round off your answer to two decimal places. Use the formula . A. 4.47 A B. 0.22 A C. 20 A D. 0.05 A

Answer 1

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula that relates current, power and resistance is

$I=\sqrt{\frac{P}{R}}$

Where

I is the current (in amperes)

P is the power (in watts)

R is the resistance (in ohms)

We know P = 500 and R = 25, we plug them into the formula and solve for I:

$I=\sqrt{\frac{P}{R}}\\I=\sqrt{\frac{500}{25}}\\I=\sqrt{20}\\ I=4.47$

Correct answer is 4.47 Amperes, or choice A.
