Question

The electrical current, in amperes, in a circuit varies directly as the voltage. When 18 volts are applied, the current is 6 amperes. What is the current when 51 volts are applied?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

6 Ampheres or 6A

Step-by-step explanation:

I = Current (unit is Amphere or A)

V = Voltage (unit is Volt or V)

R = Resistance ( unit is Ohm or Ω)

Formulas:

V=IR ; when getting the voltage

R=V/I; when getting the resistance

I=V/R; when getting the current

Solution of the Problem:

First, you have to get the resistance using the first given senario.

Distribute the given values (Voltage=15 Volts or 15V and Current= 5 Ampheres or 5A) to the formula on how to get the resistance.

R=V/I = 15 Volts/5 Ampheres

= 3 Ohms or 3Ω

Now, you have the value of the resistance which is 3 Ohms or 3Ω and the given value of voltage which is 18 Volts or 18V for the second senario.

I=V/R = 18 Volts/ 3 Ohms

= 6 Ampheres or 6A

So, the value of the current is 6 Ampheres or 6A
