🔍 Key Concepts

• Ohm's Law: V = I × R • Series circuits: voltage drops add while current is the same through all components • Calculating required series resistance to drop excess voltage at a known current

💭 Think About

• First, find how much voltage is actually dropped across the relay coil at its operating current. Then, determine how much voltage still needs to be dropped by the series resistor when using a 110 V supply. • Once you know the voltage that must be dropped by the series resistor and the current through the circuit, use Ohm's Law to find the resistance needed. • Compare your calculated resistance to the answer choices and see which is closest to your result.

✅ Before You Answer

• Compute the relay coil’s voltage using V = I × R with the given resistance and current. • Subtract the relay’s voltage from 110 V to find the voltage required across the series resistor. • Use R = V / I for the series resistor, making sure the current is in amperes, not milliamps.
