An electric appliance draws 3 amperes of current when it is connected to a 24-volt source. What is the resistance of this appliance?

Question

a
8 Ohms
b
16 Ohms
c
4 Ohms
d
36 Ohms

Answer 1

c) 8 Ohms

To find the resistance of the appliance, we can use Ohm's Law:

Resistance (R) = Voltage (V) / Current (I)

In this case, the voltage is 24 volts and the current is 3 amperes:

R = 24V / 3A
R = 8 Ohms

Therefore, the resistance of the appliance is 8 Ohms.
