Answer

(a) $I = 11.6~A$ (b) $R = 10.3~\Omega$

Work Step by Step

(a) We can find the average power: $P = \frac{1000\times 10^3~W~h}{(30)(24~h)} = 1390~W$ We can find the average current: $P = IV$ $I = \frac{P}{V}$ $I = \frac{1390~W}{120~V}$ $I = 11.6~A$ (b) We can find the average resistance: $R = \frac{V}{I}$ $R = \frac{120~V}{11.6~A}$ $R = 10.3~\Omega$
