Answer:

Resistance in pencil sharpener = 12 ohms

Explanation:

Given:

Voltage in pencil sharpener = 6 volts

Current in pencil sharpener = 0.5 amps

Find:

Resistance in pencil sharpener

Computation:

Resistance = Voltage / Current

Resistance in pencil sharpener = Voltage in pencil sharpener / Current in pencil sharpener

Resistance in pencil sharpener = 6 / 0.5

Resistance in pencil sharpener = 12 ohms
