The current I in an electrical conductor varies inversely as the resistance R of the conductor.
If the current is 0.5 amperes when the resistance id 240 ohms,
What is the current when the resistance is 960 ohms?
:
Find the volts (E)
E = I*R
E = .5 * 120
E = 120 volts
:
Find current when resistance = 960 0hms
I =
I =
I = .125 amps
