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 answer

To calculate the resistance of the appliance, we can use Ohm's Law, which states that the resistance (R) is equal to the voltage (V) divided by the current (I):

R = V / I

Given that the voltage is 24 volts and the current is 3 amperes, we can substitute these values into the formula:

R = 24 V / 3 A

R = 8 ohms

Therefore, the resistance of the appliance is 8 ohms.
