How many ohms of resistance must be present in a circuit that has 240 volts and a current of 15 amps?

ОА.

3,600 ohms

О В.

16 ohms

230 ohms

D. 0.063 ohms

16 ohms

Explanation:

V = I ⋅ R

where, V is the net potential difference in the circuit, I is the current in the circuit and R is the net resistance of the circuit.

In this case, V = 240 volts, I = 15 amperes.

240 = 15 ⋅ R

⇒ R = 240 / 15 = 16 ohms
