Question 1071856: 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. Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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
