The current I in electrical conductor varies inversely as the resistance R of the conductor. Suppose I is 0.2 amperes when the resistance is
\n" ); document.write( "200 ohms. Find the current when the resistance is 250 ohms.
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "I = k/R
\n" ); document.write( "Find k:
\n" ); document.write( "0.2 = k/200
\n" ); document.write( "k = 40
\n" ); document.write( "-----------
\n" ); document.write( "EQUATION:
\n" ); document.write( "I = 40/R
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "If R is 250 ohms, find I.
\n" ); document.write( "I = 40/250
\n" ); document.write( "I = 0.16 amps
