Find the resistance of an electric light bulb if a current of 0.95 A flows when the potential
difference across the bulb is 260 V.

What is the potential difference across a toaster of resistance 16.4 when the current flowing
through it is 4.35 A?

What current is flowing through an electric baseboard heater with a resistance of 65 when the
potential difference across it is 520 V?
If the energy used by a microwave is 0.6 kW and it is turned on for 4 hours, what is the electrical
energy that is used? How much would it cost at 10 cents/hour?
