Question
An electrical appliance has a resistance of 25 Ω. When this electrical appliance is connected to a 230 V supply line, the current passing through it will be:
(a) 0.92 A
(b) 2.9 A
(c) 9.2 A
(d) 92 A

Solution
(c) 9.2 A
Resistance = 25 Ω
Voltage = 230 V
Current = Voltage/Resistance
I = V/R
I = 230/25
I = 9.2 A
Thus, if an electrical appliance has a resistance of 25 Ω and when that electrical appliance is connected to a 230 V supply line, the current passing through it will be 9.2 A.
