Nora Arzate

The resistance is #=0.296Omega#

The charge is related to the time and the current by the

#Q=It#^2=

The charge is #Q=18C#

The time is #t=2s#

The current is #I=Q/t=18/2=9A#

The power is

#P=UI#

But Ohm's Law states that

#U=RI#

So,

#P=RI^2#

Therefore,

#R=P/I^2=24/9^2=0.296Omega#

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
