Question

The voltage, V, in an electric circuit is held constant, the current I, is inversely proportional to the resistance, R. If the current is 120mA (milliampere) when resistance is 5 ohms, find the current when the ersistance is 15 ohms.​

Answer 1

Answer:

70 amps

Step-by-step explanation:

The current I is inversely proportional to the resistance R

I=k/R   (k is the constant of proportionality)

A)   I=210 amperes

     R=4 ohms

I=k/R

k=I×R

k=210×4=840

B)    R=12 ohms

     k=840

    I=k/R

   I=840/12=70 amperes
