Electrical Energy and Current

Problem D
RESISTANCE
PROBLEM
The resistance of a steam iron is 19.0 . What is the current in the iron when it is
connected across a potential difference of 120 V?
SOLUTION
Given: R = 19.0  V = 120 V
Unknown: I=?
Use Ohm’s law to relate resistance to potential difference and current.
DV
R=
I
DV 120 V
I= = = 6.32 A
R 19.0 W

ADDITIONAL PRACTICE
1. Find the current in the following devices when they are connected across a
potential difference of 120 V.
a. a hot plate with a resistance of 48 
b. a microwave oven with a resistance of 20 
2. It is claimed that a certain camcorder battery can provide a potential difference
of 9.60 V and a current of 1.50 A. What is the resistance through which the
battery must be discharged?
3. A prototype electric car is powered by a 312 V battery pack. What is the
resistance of the motor circuit when 2.8  105 C passes through the circuit in
1.00 h?
4. In 1992, engineers built a 2.5 mm long electric motor that can be driven by a
very low emf. What is the potential difference if it draws a 3.8 A current
through a 0.64  resistor?
5. A team from Texas A&M University has built an electric sports car with a
maximum motor current of 2.4  103 A. Determine the potential difference that
provides this current if the circuit resistance is 0.30 .
6. Stanford University scientists have constructed the Orbiting Picosatellite
Automated Launcher (OPAL). OPAL can launch disposable “picosatellites”
the size of hockey pucks. Each picosatellite will be powered by a 3.0 V battery
for about an hour. If the satellite’s circuitry were to have a resistance of 16 ,
what current would be drawn by the satellite?

7. For years, California has been striving for all zero-emission vehicles on its
roads. In 1995, a street bus with a range of 120 km was built. This bus is
powered by batteries delivering 6.00  102 V. If the circuit resistance is 4.4 ,
what is the current in the bus’s circuit?
