Calculate the current in a circuit where the voltage is 120 volts and the resistance is 20 ohms.
Added by Arthur S.
Step 1
Ohm's Law states that the current (I) is equal to the voltage (V) divided by the resistance (R): I = V / R In this case, the voltage (V) is 120 volts and the resistance (R) is 20 ohms. Plugging these values into the formula, we get: I = 120 / 20 Show more…

What is the current in a 120 V circuit if the resistance is 20 ohms
Adi S.
What is the electric current if a circuit has a resistance of 100 ohms and voltage of 12.0 V?
Rearrange the equation current 5 voltage/resistance to express resistance in terms of current and voltage. Then solve the following: A certain device in a 120-V circuit has a current rating of 20 A. What is the resistance of the device (how many ohms)?
