Algebra.Com's Answer #103153 by stanbon(75887) ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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 \n" ); document.write( "================== \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( " |
