The current I in an electrical conductor varies inversely as the resistance R of the conductor.
The current is 6 amperes when the resistance is 970 ohms.
:
Ohms's law: I = , where e = the voltage
Find the volts
= 6
e = 970 * 6
e = 5820 volts
" What is the current when the resistance is 590 ohms?
I =
I = 9.86 amps
:
Or you can just use the inverse ratio relationship
=
I =
I = 9.86
