The formula you are looking for is Ohm's Law. Voltage = Current x Resistance (v = I x R). To solve for Current the formula is I = V/R.

V=IR where V= voltage, C= current and R= resistance

120=12I

10=I

10 amps

5333.333 ohms.

Power (watts) = [Current(amps) ^2] * Resistence (ohms)

120 = (.15^2) * R

R = 5333.3

How do you apply Ohm's law to a toaster?

The wires in a toaster are composed of a metal that heats up when you pass a current through the wires. The voltage, current and resistance for the toaster obey Ohm's Law (Voltage = Current x Resistance). When the wires heat up this heat causes the bread to toast. The toast is not part of the circuit and is not involved in Ohm's Law.


If you plug an electric toaster rated at 110-v into a 220-v outlet what will the outlet current in the toaster be?

It doesnt matter you will smoke it. The current in a resistive circuit is proportional to the voltage. If the voltage doubles and the resistance is the same (elements) the current will double and burn up both the elements and the toaster wiring. Look up "ohms law" for current voltage and resistance effects. Don't try it..


What will happen in a circuit if the voltage does not change but the resistance in the circuit increases?

If the resistance increases, while the voltage stays the same, current will decrease. Current = voltage divided by resistance


If the resistance in a circuit is doubled while the voltage remains the constant the current is?

It is halved. coz voltage=current * resistance


If the voltage applied to a circuit remains constant and the resistance in the circuit is increased the current will?

V = IR Where, V = voltage I = current R = resistance Thus if resistance is increased with constant voltage current will decrease


The amount of current in a circuit can what by increasing the amount of resistance present in the circuit?

No it cant. Voltage = Current x Resistance. So at constant Voltage if the Resistance is increased, Current will reduce


How is the resistance of a resister calculated?

ohms law calculation for a series circuit - Total Resistance = Total Voltage divided by Total Current


If you double both the voltage and the resistance in a circuit what would be the effect on the current?

If you double the voltage in a circuit, the power is quadrupled, assuming the resistance stays the same.


Should you increase voltage or resistance to increase flow in a circuit?

To increase (current) flow in a circuit you increase voltage (or decrease resistance). Ohm's Law: Current = Voltage divided by resistance
