In an electrical circuit ,the voltage across a resistor is directly proportional to the current running through the resitor. If a current of twelve amps produces 480 volts across a resistor, how many volts would a current of 1.5 amps produce across an identical resitor?

The voltage across an identical resistor = 60 Volts

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Given  that voltage across the resistor is directly proportional to the current running through the resitor.

 Mathematically, it would be represented as

Voltage  ∝  Current

Introducing the constant of proportionality,  k which represents the Resistor as it is constant.

we have that

Voltage  = K  x  Current

When current = 12 amps and voltage = 480v, the constant of proportionality  K

480 = k x 12

k = 480/12

k= 40

Step 2 ,

when current = 1.5 amps

 Voltage = ?

Using our equation that

Voltage  = K  x  Current

Voltage = 40 x 1.5

Voltage = 60 Volts

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !
