Help me understand the wording of this problem (electrical circuits homework)?
Asked by Mariah (25883)

The setup is a circuit with a 7.2V battery and a motor. We are to treat the motor as an unknown resistance.
One sentence of the problem says “The motor can draw a maximum current of 1.5 A from the source.” I’m not understanding exactly what this means. Can you help me interpret? Does it mean that I can assume the motor has resistance of 7.2/1.5 = 4.8 ohms?
This is homework; I don’t want help with anything except the meaning of that sentence. Thanks!
