Answer : The amount of current used to warm your feet is, 0.1 A
Explanation :
To calculate the current we are using ohm’s law:
where,
V = voltage = 9 V
I = current = ?
R = resistance = 90 Ω
Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get the current.
Therefore, the amount of current used to warm your feet is, 0.1 A
