Question

How many ohms of resistance must be present in a circuit that has 240 volts and a current of 15 amps?

Answer 1

Answer:

b-16ohms

Explanation:

If you are using online learning/PLATO the answer is proven to be B-16 ohms

Answer 2

Answer:

16 ohms

Explanation:

V= I ⋅ R

where,  V  is the net potential difference in the circuit,  I  is the current in the circuit and  R  is the net resistance of the circuit.  

In this case,  V = 240  volts,  I = 15  amperes.

240 = 15 ⋅ R  

⇒ R = 240/ 15 = 16  ohms
