In doing a load of clothes, a clothes drier uses 16 A of current at 240 V for 39 min. A personal computer, in contrast, uses 2.9 A of current at 120 V. With the energy used by the clothes drier, how long (in hours) could you use this computer to "surf" the Internet
Ohm's law
Ohm’s law is a prominent concept in physics and electronics. It gives the relation between the current and the voltage. It is used to analyze and construct electrical circuits. Ohm's law states that the voltage across a conductor is directly proportional to the current flowing through it.
Path of Least Resistance
In a series of alternate pathways, the direction of least resistance is the actual or metaphorical route that offers the least resistance to forwarding motion by a given individual or body.
