| Boilerpipe Text | Given Data:
Total resistance= (R+8)Ω
voltage = 60V
Current = 2.5 A
We know that
V=IR
Put the data in above relation
60=2.5×(R+8)
60/2.5=R+8
24 = R+8
R=24-8
R= 16Ω
Hence, the value of resistor R is 16Ω.

Total resistance = (8 + R) ohms = 60 V / 2.5 A = 24 ohms, so 8 + R = 24 ohms, so R = 16 ohms.
