Question 406629: In an electrical circuit, the current passing through a conductor varies inversely with the resistance. Suppose that when the current is 8A (amperes), the resistance is 15 ohms. What is the current when the resistance is 4 ohms?
I'm in beginning algebra and was told that this is a physics question :?

E=IR
E=15*8
E=120V
--------------
I=E/R
I=120/4
I=30 amperes
