8. An electrical iron carrying 2A at 120V. Find resistance of the device?

9. The essential component of a toaster is an electrical element (a resistor) that converts

electrical energy to heat energy. How much current is drawn by a toaster with resistance
12Ω at 110V?

10. If the voltage of a circuit is 12V, and the resistance is 40Ω, what is the power generated?
