Question
Solve each problem.The current in a simple electrical circuit varies inversely as the resistance. If the currentis 20 amps when the resistance is 5 ohms, find the current when the resistance is7.5 ohms.
Step 1
According to Ohm's law, the current (I) in a circuit varies inversely with the resistance (R). This can be mathematically represented as I = K/R, where K is a constant. Show more…
