Answer

a)$I = 11.57A$ b)$R=10.37\Omega$

Work Step by Step

energy consumed for one month= 1000kWh power = energy/ time Power = $\frac{1000 *1000 Wh}{30 *24h} =1388.9 W$ a)power =$VI 120V* I $ $120V*I =1388.9W$ $I= \frac{1388.9}{120}A = 11.57A$ b) power =$\frac{V^2}{R}$ $\frac{(120V)^2}{R}= 1388.9W$ $R =\frac{1388.9}{14400} \Omega$ $R=10.37\Omega$
