If we use the simple application of Ohm's law where voltage (E) equals current (I) times resistance (R), or E = I x R, all we need to do is plug in values. If E = I x R and I = 8 amps and R = 15 ohms, E = 8 x 15 = 120 volts.

What does an electric current always follow?
The path of least resistance.
The current in a 100-W bulb connected to a 120-V source is?
The apparent answer to the question would be (100 W)/(120 V) = 0.8333 A, assuming that, as a pure resistance load, the light bulb has a power factor close to 1.0.
When an ammeter is connected to measure current circuit current will decrease sightly because R total decreases after the meter is inserted?
Current will be decreased because of the resistance of the ammeter added to the circuit's resistance. In other words total resistance increases.
What is an electric circuit with little or no resistance?
A: As current approaches infinity on a device it is known as a current source.
What determines the amount of electric current flow through a circuit?
voltage and resistance v=ir v=voltage i=current r=resistance in physics right now
When wires are connected to the terminals of a battery. what causes electric current in the circuit?
The resistance of the load is what causes an electric current to flow in a circuit.
When the wires are connected to the terminals of the battery what causes electric current in a circuit?
The resistance of the load is what causes an electric current to flow in a circuit.
An electric lamp has a resistance of 534 ohms when connected to a 230v supply the current flowing would be?
I = E/R
What will an electric current follow?
An electric current follows the path of least resistance.
Why is there no flow of electric current between 2 objects of equal resistance?
I am not sure how the two objects of equal resistance are supposed to be connected. But for a current to flow, for example across a resistor, there must be a voltage difference between the terminals of this resistor.
What is the current of a 1.5 volts battery?
That depends on the resistance connected. Use Ohm's Law: V=IR. Solving for current: I = V/R. If nothing is connected, there will be no current (infinite resistance).
The current in an electric current varies inversly as the resistance when the current is 25 amps the resistance is 16ohms What is the current when the resistance is 10ohms?
40 A -providing the voltage remains constant.
An electric appliance draws 1.5 amperes of current when it is connected to a 24-volt source - What is the resistance of this appliance?
The formula is Resistance= Voltage/ Amps(current) In your example: R=50/2.5, so the answer is 20 ohms.
What is the difference between a resistance and a capacitor?
resistance refers to the resistance of flow of electric current wile a capacitor is an electric device that stores energy.
What is the path that an electrical current travels?
electric current
Would increasing the resistance increase electric current?
no
An electric heating element has a resistance of 16ohm and is connected to a voltage of 120v How much current will flow in the circuit?
Ohms law states that E=I * R, or voltage equals current times resistance. Therefore current equals voltage divided by resistance. 120v divided by 16 ohms equals 7.5 amps.
