For this case we have that the current of a hair dryer is 15 Amps, while its resistance is 8 ohms. They ask us to find the voltage of the hair dryer. We have that, by definition, Ohm's Law states that:

[tex]V = I * R[/tex]

Where:

  • I: Is the current,[tex]I = 15 Amps[/tex]
  • R: It is the resistance,[tex]R = 8 Ohms[/tex]

Substituting we have:

[tex]V = 15 * 8\ (Amperes * Ohms)\\V = 120\ Volts[/tex]

Thus, the voltage of the hair dryer is 120 volts.

Answer:

[tex]V = 120 Volts[/tex]

Answer: The correct answer is 120 V.

Explanation:

The expression from Ohm's law is as follows;

V=IR

Here, V is the potential difference, I is the current and R is the resistance.

It is given in the problem that the current in a hair dryer measures 15.0 amps. The resistance of the hair dryer is 8 ohms.

Calculate the value of voltage.

Put I= 15 A and R= 8 ohms.

V= (15)(8)

V= 120 V

Therefore, the voltage is 120 V.
