To determine the current draw of a [tex]$120$[/tex]-volt circuit with a resistance of [tex]$20$[/tex] ohms, we can use Ohm's law. Ohm's law states that the current ([tex]\(I\)[/tex]) in a circuit is equal to the voltage ([tex]\(V\)[/tex]) divided by the resistance ([tex]\(R\)[/tex]).
### Step-by-Step Solution
1. Identify the given values:
- Voltage ([tex]\(V\)[/tex]): [tex]$120$[/tex] volts
- Resistance ([tex]\(R\)[/tex]): [tex]$20$[/tex] ohms
2. Write the formula for Ohm's law:
[tex]\[
I = \frac{V}{R}
\][/tex]
3. Substitute the given values into the formula:
[tex]\[
I = \frac{120 \, \text{volts}}{20 \, \text{ohms}}
\][/tex]
4. Divide the voltage by the resistance to find the current:
[tex]\[
I = 6 \, \text{amperes} \, (A)
\][/tex]
So, the current draw of the [tex]$120$[/tex]-volt circuit with a resistance of [tex]$20$[/tex] ohms is [tex]$6$[/tex] amperes.
### Answer Selection
From the given options:
A. [tex]\(120 V / 20 = 6 A\)[/tex]
B. [tex]\(120 V \times 20 = 2,400 A\)[/tex]
C. [tex]\(120 V + 20 = 140 A\)[/tex]
D. [tex]\(20 / 120 V = 0.17 A\)[/tex]
The correct answer is:
A. [tex]$120 V / 20=6 A$[/tex]
