Question

A heating element on an electric range operating at 200. v has a resistance of 32.0 ohms. the current drawn by the element is

Answer 1

Answer:

6.25 A

Explanation:

We cant find the current drawn by the element by using Ohm's law:

$V=RI$

where

V is the potential difference across the resistance of the element

R is the resistance

I is the current

In this problem, we know

V = 200 V

$R=32.0 \Omega$

Therefore we can re-arrange the equation and solve for the current:

$I=\frac{V}{R}=\frac{200}{32}=6.25 A$
