Answer:

1. The current will drop to half of its original value.

Explanation:

The problem can be solved by using Ohm's law:

V=RI

where

V is the voltage across the circuit

R is the resistance of the circuit

I is the current

We can rewrite it as

I=\frac{V}{R}

In this problem, we have:

- the resistance of the circuit remains the same: R' = R

- the voltage is decreased to half of its original value: V'=\frac{V}{2}

So, the new current will be

I'=\frac{V'}{R'}=\frac{V/2}{R}=\frac{1}{2}\frac{V}{R}=\frac{I}{2}

so, the current will drop to half of its original value.

a DJ uses a 110-volt outlet to plug in a strobe light. if the current flowing through the light is 0.050 amps, how much resistan
tigry1 [53]

Ohms Law: V = IR

V is the voltage in volts

I is the current in amps

R is the resistance in Ohms

Rearrange: R = V/I

R = (110)/(0.050)

R = 2200

There are 2200 Ohms of resistance in the circuit.
