A 2200 watt resistor operating at 110 volts conducts amps of current?

Don't follow what a '2200watt resistor' is. A resistor spec is measured in ohms.
Ohms Law is expressed as: Voltage drop = current x resistance, and the wattage of the resistor is = volts drop x current.
You have to decide if your resistor is 2200 ohms, or is taking 2200 watts. These two alternatives will give different results for the current.
If it is 2200 watts, at 110 volts, the current is 20 amps.
If it is 2200 ohms, at 110 volts, the current will be 50 milliamps. (0.05amps)

∙ 11y agoThe voltage drop across the resistor is inherently tied to the current, under Ohm's Law, as in R = E / I, so there is no way to calculate this without knowing how much current or power you need at either voltage.

What size resistor in parallel to reduce from 120 volts to 100 volts?
A resistor in parallel with a voltages source will not cause the voltage to drop, theoretically. To get a 20 volt drop you need a resistance in series, and the number of ohms is 20 divided by the current in amps. If the current is unknown or variable, the voltage can't be dropped by using a resistor.
How do you determine the amperage given the voltage and power dissipated?
Like Ohm's Law, the formula for calculating power is a simple product of two quantities. It is given by the formula P = VI, where V is the voltage in volts and I is the current in amperes (or simply amps). So, if you know the value of any two of the quantities, you can easily calculate the third with simple arithmetic. For example, if the current flowing through a resistor is two amps and the voltage drop across that resistor is five volts, the power dissipated by the resistor is, P = VI = 5 volts * 2 amps = 10 watts. If you are given the power and the voltage, you can easily find the current. For example, if you are told that the voltage drop across a resistor is five volts and is dissipating 10 watts, the current through the resistor is 10 watts/5 volts = 2 amps.
What size resistor to drop 12vdc to 1.5vdc?
The voltage drop across a resistor is equal to the resistance times the current flowing through it. If you do not have a constant current load you cannot use a resistor and must use an active solution. Please read up on ohms law before continuing with your project.
How you get 5.6 volts 12 ma from 230 volts supply in current transfomer?
You would not connect a current transformer to a 230 v supply. To get 5.6 v 12 mA you could get a 230 to 6 volt transformer, then drop the supply from 6 to 5.6 using a 33-ohm resistor.
Is 123.4 volts acceptable for house current?
Volts would be tension, not current. And if it's acceptable or not depends on what tension you're supposed to have.
What voltage is applied to a 4 ohm resistor if the current is 1.5 amps?
Ohm's law: Volts = amps times ohms In the case of a 4 ohm resistor with 1.5 amps of current, the voltage is 6 volts.
What is the power dissipated by a resistor that has 5 amps flowing through it with 120 volts applied?
The power in a resistor (in watts) is simply the product of the current (in amperes) times the voltage (in volts).The power in a resistor (in watts) is simply the product of the current (in amperes) times the voltage (in volts).The power in a resistor (in watts) is simply the product of the current (in amperes) times the voltage (in volts).The power in a resistor (in watts) is simply the product of the current (in amperes) times the voltage (in volts).
What is the current across a 10k resistor and 20 volts?
First of all, current goes straight through the resistor, not across it.If the potential difference between the ends of the resistor is 20 volts,and its resistance is 10,000 ohms, then the current through it isI = E/R = 20/10,000 = 0.002 ampere = 2 milliamperes
A 5 ohm resistor a 10 ohm resistor and a 15 ohm resistor are connected in series to a 120 volt power source. What is the amount of current flowing between the 5 ohm resistor and the 10 ohm resistor?
The current would be about 20 volts.
What is the voltage drop across a 12 ohm resistor with a source of 24 volts?
If there's nothing else between the ends of the resistor and the power supply, then the voltage across the resistor is 24 volts, and the current through it is 2 amperes.
What is power and current if resistor is 500 ohm?
The question is incomplete without the voltage across the resistor. For example: if V (Voltage across 500 ohm resistor) = 5 Volts, then, Current, I = 5/500 Ampere = 0.01 A.
What resistor to drop 2V to 1 1.5V?
Doing it with a single resistor is not a good idea because it can only be done with exactly the right amount of current. If the current is 1 amp, for a voltage drop of 10.8 volts you need 10.8 ohms (volts/amps).
What is the resistance of a lamp operating at 115 volts and using 0.25 amperes of current?
The resistance of a lamp operating at 115 volts and using 0.25 amp of current is 460. The relationship I used is Ohm's law.
What size resistor is needed to drop 14 volts dc to 12 volts dc?
This question cannot be answered because you did not specify the current.
What size resistor in parallel to reduce from 120 volts to 100 volts?
A resistor in parallel with a voltages source will not cause the voltage to drop, theoretically.

If the current is unknown or variable, the voltage can't be dropped by using a resistor.
What is the current of a 25volt resistor?
Resistors are rated in ohms for their resistance value and in watts for the power they are capable of handling. They are not rated in volts or current.
How much current will flow through a 12 ohm resistor if 6 volts are applied across it?
Voltage / Resistance = Current, you do the math
