At a voltage of 110 V, which is supplied to the resistor, the current in it is 5 A. What will be the current in the resistor

At a voltage of 110 V, which is supplied to the resistor, the current in it is 5 A. What will be the current in the resistor if the voltage across it is increased by 10 V?

U1 = 110 V.

I1 = 5 A.

U2 = U1 + 10 V.

t = 10 min = 600 s.

I2 -?

According to Ohm’s law for a section of the circuit, the current in the conductor I is directly proportional to the voltage U and inversely proportional to its resistance R: I = U / R.

I2 = U2 / R.

I1 = U1 / R.

Since the resistance of the conductor does not depend on the voltage and is a characteristic of the conductor, then R = U1 / I1.

The formula for the current strength will take the form: I2 = U2 * I1 / U1.

I2 = 120 V * 5 A / 110 V = 5.5 A.

Answer: the current in the second resistor will be I2 = 5.5 A.
