I never measured the resistance of an electric iron, but: the 15 ohm resistance is probably required to develop a required 806 watts of power. Using Ohm's law, I(current) = E(voltage)/R(resistance), therefore
I(current) =110 volts/15 ohms = 7.33 Amps (current), and, Power (watts) = E(voltage) X I(current); 110 volts X 7.33 amps = 806 watts. The iron requires that wattage to develop enough heat in the sole of the iron. Hope this helps.

An electric iron draws a current of 15A when connected to a 120-V power source.?
I can't do all the math for that but if it helps that's a 1,077.3 watt heat discharge.
What is the total resistance of 15 ohms?
That depends how they are connected. For example, if they are connected in series, just add the individual resistances.
A shaded pole motor coil will have a resistance of approximately?
15 to 40 ohms.
What is voltage of a circuit with 15 amps of current andtoaster with 8ohms of resistance?
V=I*R Where: V is voltage I is the current in ampers R is resistance in ohms. So, if the current is 15 A and the resistance is 5 ohms, then the voltage must be 15 A *5 ohms = 75 V.
How much current flows through a circuit if the resistance is 15 ohms and there is a 3-volt battery?
E= ( I ) x ( R ) = (15 amperes) x (4 ohms) = 60 voltsNote:When 15 amperes flows through a resistance of 4 ohms,the resistance dissipates 900 watts. If it is not part of atoaster or a blow drier, it either melts or explodes.

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.
A shaded pole motor coil will have a resistance of approximately?
15 to 40 ohms.
An electric motor has an apparent resistance 15 ohms. If 8 amps of current are flowing through the motor what is the connected voltage?
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 is the amount of resistance perfoot in a secondary spark plug wire?
Here is what I go by, 0 - 15" min 3000 ohms, max 10000 ohms. 15 - 25" min 4000 ohms, max 15000 ohms. 25 - 35" min 6000 ohms, max 20000 ohms. Over 35" min 8000 ohms, max 25000 ohms.
How much current flows through a resistance of 300 ohms if the power source is 15 volts?
Ohm's Law Voltage = Current x Resistance Answer is 15/300

What is the rule of thumb for spark plug wire resistance?
10 - 15 K ohms per foot
What is the resistance value and tolerance of a resistor with Brown Green Red Silver?
15 k ohms with a 10% tolerance.
Three 15 ohm resistors are connected in parallel to a 30 volt battery What is the equivalent resistance through the circuit?
You don't need the voltage to calculate that. Just use the product-over-sum formula (for two resistors): R = (R1 x R2)/(R1 + R2) Where R is the equivalent resistance, and R1 and R2 are the individual resistances.
