The current in the kettle’s heating element is 2.5 A and the resistance is 48 Om.

The current in the kettle’s heating element is 2.5 A and the resistance is 48 Om. Calculate the voltage across the kettle heating element.

Given:

I = 2.5 Amperes – current in the kettle heating element;

R = 48 Ohm is the resistance of the electric kettle heating element.

It is required to determine U (Volt) – the voltage of the electrical network.

To determine the voltage of the electrical network, you must use the following formula:

R = U / I, from here we find that:

U = R * I = 48 * 2.5 = 120 Volts.

Answer: the voltage across the heating element of the electric kettle is 120 volts.
