Using Ohm's Law (E = I R) Voltage = Current x Resistance or switch around to get R = E / I:
115 volts / 8 Amperes = 14.375 Ohms
The above is correct for DC current but is close enough to be used for AC current.

DC voltage can be used to run almost any device utilizing an electric heating element, including resistive baseboard and electric water heaters. In these applications, electrical current flowing in a heating element produces heat due to resistance.
a memristor is the fourth passive element in the electric circuit joining the resistor,inductor and capacitor , the word memristor is the concatenation of "memory" and "resistance"
which electric element should be used so as to open the closed electric circuit
Resistance Resistance is one of the biggest factors affecting power flow in a network. Resistance impedes the flow of electricity. Every element of an electric network has some amount of resistance. The electricity and power of a network will follow the path of least resistance. In order to calculate the power of a resistive element, such as a resistor, at least two of three things need to be known: the resistance of the element, the voltage across the element and/or the current through the element. The power of an element can be calculated either by voltage times current; current squared times resistance; or voltage squared divided by resistance. Load The type of load attached to a network will affect a networks power flow as well. A resistor connected as a load to a network will generate a constant power flow. An electric motor will generate a very high power during startup due to the high current needed to start the motor. As the motor reaches its normal speed, the power needed will drop and stabilize to a fairly constant state. The power needed from the network will remain constant as long as the motor's speed and load are constant. If the motor's load increases, the power needed from the network will increase. Circuit Type There are two basic types of circuits, series and parallel circuits. In a series circuit, all of the current flows through one load. In a parallel circuit, there are multiple paths for the current to supply multiple loads. Each branch gets a fraction of the current depending on the resistance of each branch element. This also means that each branch will use a different amount of power.
The element is made of special high resistance wire so the power is dissipated in the element rather than the low resistance cord.Power(watts) = Resistance (ohms) X {Current(amperes)}squared
It is 6 times 8 and the answer is in volts.
An electric iron has a heating element that offers electrical resistance. The resistance causes friction to occur in the electrons and causes a heating effect.
The heating element of an electric heater is a "resistor", the cord which conducts the electricity is not. The resistance of the element of an electric heater is very high. As current flows through the heating element, it becomes red hot and glows. On the other hand, the resistance of the cord is low. It does not become red hot when current flows through it.

The wire in the cord has much lower resistance than the heating element. The heating element is a resistive or resistance heating element. Resistance in the quality of a substance or material that causes it to limit current flow, and it get heated up in the process. The heating element has all but the smallest fraction of the resistance in the circuit, so the heat, that thermal energy that get the water hot, is generated by the resistance of the heating element.
