Question 760824: the current I is an electrical conductor varies inversely as the resistance R of the conductor. the current is 5 amperes when the resistance in 990 ohms. what is the current when the resistance is 530 ohms?
Answer by Stitch(470) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Ohm's law states that V=IR were V is the voltage, I is the current and R is the resistance.
You are given I=5 and R=990. Solve for E

Now the voltage for the circuit does not change.
Solve for the current with the new value that is given for the resistance.

Divide both sides by 530.

The new current would be 9.34 amps
