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
