You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Ohm's law states that V=IR were V is the voltage, I is the current and R is the resistance.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You are given I=5 and R=990. Solve for E
\n" ); document.write( "\"E+=+5%2A990\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"E+=+4950+volts\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now the voltage for the circuit does not change.
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for the current with the new value that is given for the resistance.
\n" ); document.write( "\"4950+=+I+%2A+530\"
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by 530.
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%289.34+=+I%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "The new current would be 9.34 amps
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
