According to ohms law state that resistance is directly proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to the current. so
R=V/I
R=110/3.5
R=31.42
option D correct

As per ohms law,

Voltage V = 110.
Current I = 3.5.
Resistance R = X.

Formula,
R = V/I.

R = 110/3.5 = 31.42 ohms.

Resistance of heating element is 31.42 ohms.

According to ohm's law voltage is directly proportional to current in a specified conductor having some resistance.

i.e V = RI.

I = V/R.
I = 110/3.5.
I = 31.4 A.

We know that the current is directly proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to resistance.

So,

I = V/R.
R = V/I.
= 110/3.5.
= 31.42 ohm.

Given:

V = 110 volt.
I = 3.5 amp.
R = ?

We know that:

According to ohm's law:

I = V/R.
V = IR.
R = V/I.

=110/3.5.
=31.428.

Hence answer is 31 ohm.

According to Ohm's law V=IR.

But we need 'R'.

So bring the I to this side then it will be divided by V,
As given below,

R=V(110)/I(3.5)
R=31.4 ohms.

According to ohm's low R =V/I,
V= 110V.
I = 3.5A.

Put the value of voltage and current above formula given.
R = 110/3.5.

Correct answer is 31 ohm.

Yes according to Law I = VR.

V = 110 V, I = 3.5 A & R=?

There fore we want Resistance so that R = V/I.

R = 110/3.5.

R = 31.42 or R = 31 Ohm.

Ohms law is are proportional to I inversely to V at content physical parameters like temperature and stress on conductor etc. It is right.

Voltege=110v
Current=3.5A
According to the ohms law V = IR
110 = 3.5*R
R = 31 Ohm
