Question

V=IR
R=V/I
An electric appliance draws 3 amperes of current when it is connected to a 24-volt source. What is the resistance of this appliance? (1 point) Responses 36 Ohms 36 Ohms 16 Ohms 16 Ohms 8 Ohms 8 Ohms 4 Ohms

Answer 1

To find the resistance of the appliance, you can use the formula \( R = \frac{V}{I} \).

Given:
- Voltage \( V = 24 \) volts
- Current \( I = 3 \) amperes

Now, substitute the values into the equation:

\[
R = \frac{24 \text{ volts}}{3 \text{ amperes}} = 8 \text{ Ohms}
\]

So, the resistance of the appliance is **8 Ohms**.
