Question

A 1.5m wire carries a 7 A current when a potential difference of 87 V is applied. What is the resistance of the wire?

Answer 1

Answer:

$R\approx12.43 \,\, \Omega$

Explanation:

We can use Ohm's Law to find the resistance R of a wire that carries a current I under a given potential difference:

$V=I\,\,R\\R = \frac{V}{I} \\R=\frac{87}{7} \\R\approx12.43 \,\, \Omega$

Answer 2

Answer:

Ohm's law states that I=V/R (Current=volts divided by resistance). Since we're looking for resistance, we'll rewrite it as R=V/I. Then just plug in the numbers; R=84/9, R= 9 1/3 or 28/3. The resistance of the wire is 9.33... or 9 1/3 ohm's, depending on how you wanna write it.

Hope it helped u if yes mark me BRAINLIEST!

Tysm!

I would appreciate it!
