What is the resistance of an electric fry pan that draws 12 amperes of current when connected to a 120- Volt circuit?
If you could show me the formula and how you worked it. that would help me and my understanding! As always thank you so much for what you do for me.

hey it is easy.
rember ohm's law:
R=V/I
R-resistance
V-voltage
I-current.
HENCE ,
ur answer wud be
R=120/12=1O ohms

Volts = Current x Resistance Resistance is futile Resistance = Volts / Current Resistance = 120V / 12 A (units will be ohms)

R=V/I
R=120/12
R=10 ohms
Since the fry pan will be a purely resistive load this is true. Be aware that other loads may not be purely resistive on alternating current supplies

acc to ohms law V=iR
where v is volt
i is current
R is resistance
therefore
120=12*R
R=10ohms

Voltage = resistance*current (V= R*i)
Resistance = Voltage / current
that is the basic equation, but I dont know if it is the same for A/C current as for D/C
