Question 672321: In an electrical circuit, the current passing through a conductor varies inversely with the resistance. Suppose that when the current is 10 (amperes), the resistance is 18 ohms. What is the current when the resistance is 20 ohms? Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! In an electrical circuit, the current passing through a conductor varies inversely with the resistance. Suppose that when the current is 10 (amperes), the resistance is 18 ohms. What is the current when the resistance is 20 ohms?
-----------------
I = V/R (V = constant)
10 = V/18
V = 180
-----
I = 180/20 = 9 amperes
========================
Or,
10*18 = I*20
I = 9
