Answer:
The current flowing the heating element is 0.868 amperes.
Explanation:
Ohm's law states that voltage is directly proportional to current. In other, words, we say that:
[tex]V \propto R[/tex]
[tex]V = i\cdot R[/tex] (1)
Where:
[tex]V[/tex] - Voltage, measured in volts.
[tex]i[/tex] - Current, measured in amperes.
[tex]R[/tex] - Resistance, measured in ohms.
If we know that [tex]V = 230\,V[/tex] and [tex]R = 265\,\Omega[/tex], then the current that flows through the heating element is:
[tex]i = \frac{V}{R}[/tex]
[tex]i = \frac{230\,V}{265\,\Omega }[/tex]
[tex]i = 0.868\,A[/tex]
The current flowing the heating element is 0.868 amperes.
