Algebra.Com's Answer #316744 by stanbon(75887)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The current i in an electrical conductor varies inversely as the resistance R of the conductor. \n" ); document.write( "---- \n" ); document.write( "i = k/R^2 \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"k\" using \"The current is 8 amperes when the resistance is 895 ohms.\" \n" ); document.write( "8 = k/(895)^2 \n" ); document.write( "k = 8*(895)^2 \n" ); document.write( "------- \n" ); document.write( "Equation: \n" ); document.write( "i = [8*895^2]/R^2 \n" ); document.write( "------- \n" ); document.write( "What is the current when the Resistance is 848 ohms? \n" ); document.write( "i = [8*895^2]/848^2 \n" ); document.write( "i = 8.9114 amperes \n" ); document.write( "====================== \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( "======================\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
