The heating element of an iron operates at 110 V with a current of 11 A.(a) What is the resistance of the iron? Ω(b) What is the power dissipated by the iron? W

Respuesta :

(a)

In order to calculate the resistance, we can use Ohm's Law:

[tex]\begin{gathered} R=\frac{V}{I}\\ \\ R=\frac{110}{11}\\ \\ R=10\text{ \Omega} \end{gathered}[/tex]

(b)

To calculate the power, we can use the formula below:

[tex]\begin{gathered} P=I\cdot V\\ \\ P=11\cdot110\\ \\ P=1210\text{ W} \end{gathered}[/tex]
