For x number of resistors of resistance 176 Ω, the equivalent resistance of the resistors connected in parallel is given by Ohm's law asV= IR
R= V/I
Where,
Supply voltage, V= 220 V
Current, I = 5 A
Equivalent resistance of the combination = R,given as
\(\frac{1}{R}=X\times(\frac{1}{176})\)
\(R=\frac{176}{X}\)
from Ohm's law,
\(\frac{V}{I}=\frac{176}{X}\)
\(X=\frac{176\times I}{V}=\frac{176\times 5}{220}=4\)
Therefore, four resistors of 176 Ω are required to draw the given amount of current.
