T5D09 - What is the current through a 24-ohm resistor connected across 240 volts?

Question

What is the current through a 24-ohm resistor connected across 240 volts?

Answer Options

  • A) 24,000 amperes
  • B) 0.1 amperes
  • C) 10 amperes
  • D) 216 amperes

Correct Answer: C


Explanation

Using the Ohm’s Law formula for current: I = E / R (T5D01).

I = 240\text{ V} / 24\text{ Ohms} = 10\text{ Amperes}. This shows that a lower resistance load draws a higher current from the same source voltage.
