Question 538917: 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 is 240 ohms, what is the current when the resistance is 960 ohms?

You could start with Ohm's law:
Solve for I.
Substitute I = 0.5 amps. and R = 240 ohms.
Solve for E.
Now Ohm's law looks like:
Substitute R = 960 ohms.
Evaluate.
amperes.
