A certain device in a 100 V circuit has a current of 34 A flowing through it. What is the resistance of the device? Rearrange the equation Current = Voltage Resistance to express resistance in terms of current and voltage.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The resistance of the device is [tex]R=2.94\Omega[/tex].

Explanation:

The expression for the voltage in terms of resistance and current is as follows:

V=IR

Here, I is the current, R is the resistance and V is the voltage.

It is given in the problem that a certain device in a 100 V circuit has a current of 34 A flowing through it.

Calculate the resistance by rearranging the above expression.

[tex]R=\frac{V}{I}[/tex]

Put I= 34 A and V= 100 V.

[tex]R=\frac{100}{34}[/tex]

[tex]R=2.94\Omega[/tex]

Therefore, the resistance of the device is [tex]R=2.94\Omega[/tex].
