    The resistance is 16 ohm's

    V=I x R where V is the voltage, I is the current, and R is the resistance in Ohms

    120 = 15 x R

    R=120/15

    R = 8 Ohm's

    P=VxV / R

    P=120v x 120v / 8 ohms

    P = 14400/8

    P = 1800 watts

    R = V x V/P

    R = 14400/900

    R = 16 Ohm's

    The resistance is 16 ohm's:

    I = V/R

    I = 120/16

    I = 7.5 Amps
