Question

What would the circuit resistance be if a 7.5 Amp draw was present with the engine running and the charging system producing 15 Volts?

Answer 1

Answer:

2 ohms

Explanation:

Hi there!

Ohm's law states that $V=IR$ where V is the voltage, I is the current and R is the resistance.

Plug in the given information (I=7.5, V=15) and solve for R

$V=IR\\15=(7.5)R$

Divide both sides by 7.5 to isolate R

$\frac{15}{7.5}= \frac{7.5R}{7.5} \\2=R$

Therefore, the circuit resistance would be 2 ohms.

I hope this helps!
