    We are asked to solve for the resistance of a lamp that is operating at 115 volts and using a current with a magnitude of 0.25 amperes. To solve this problem, we can apply Ohm's law which is V = IR where "V" represents the voltage, the "I" represents the current and "R" represents the resistance. The solution is shown below:

    I = 0.25 ampere

    V = 115 volts

    R = V/I

    R = 115 volts / 0.25 ampere

    R = 460 ohms

    The answer for the resistance is 460 ohms.

    The resistance directly proportional to the voltage such that when voltage increase, resistance also increases. On the other hand, resistance is inversely proportional to the current.
