Answer:
60 ohms
Explanation:
From Ohm’s Law:
V = IR
Where V = 120volts
I = 2A
R = ?
Note that R,V and I represents resistance, voltage and current respectively.
Substituting the above values into the formula.
V = IR
120v = 2×R
120= 2R
Making R the subject
R =120/2
R = 60 ohms
Hence the resistance of the toaster will be 60 ohms.
