an electrical heater is connected to the power grid of 110 volts and draws an electrical current of 5 amperes to the heater. what is the resistance of the heater (in ohm)?
Q1) Ohm's Law (in electricity) states that the current (I) is proportional to the applied voltage (V). The constant of proportionality is the resistance (R). The resulting equation is: V = IR. This equation is re-arranged to: I = (1/R) V. Since this is a linear equation, the plot between V (on the x-axis) and I (on the y-axis) should be a straight line, with the slope being 1/R. In an experiment, the following data has been obtained for current for different values of the voltage.
