You can put this solution on YOUR website!
P=Power (in watts); R=resistance (in ohms)=20 ohms; I=current (in amps)
\n" ); document.write( "If the power is 168.2 Watts what is the current?
\n" ); document.write( "\"P=I%5E2R\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"P%2FR=I%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"sqrt%28P%2FR%29=I\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"sqrt%28168.2%2F20%29=I\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"sqrt%288.41%29=I\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2.9=I\" ANSWER: The current is 2.9 amps.
