Answer:
b. 20.0
Explanation:
From ohm's law,
V = IR.................... Equation 1
Where V = Voltage source, I = current carried by the iron, R = Resistance of the steam iron.
Make R the subject of the equation
R = V/I.................. Equation 2
Given: V = 1.2×10² V, I = 6.00 A.
Substitute into equation 2
R = 1.2×10²/6
R = 20 Ohms.
Hence the resistance of the steam iron = 20 Ohms.
The right option is b. 20.0
