If the voltage V in an electric circuit is held​ constant, the current I is inversely proportional to the resistance R. If the current is 60 amperes when the resistance is 255 ​ohms, find the current when the resistance is 150 ohms.
----------
E = I*R
I = E/R
=====================
E = 60*255 = 15300 volts
----------
find the current when the resistance is 150 ohms.
I = 15300/150
I = 102 amps
