Ohm's law states that V=IR for a simple circuit, where V is the total voltage, I is the amount of current running through the resistor and R is the resistance of the resistor. If I=40 amperes when R=3 ohms, find the amount of current (in amperes) when the resistor has a resistance of  20ohms. Assume voltage remains constant.

V=IR; I=40A; R=3Ω
V=40*3=120V

120V=I*R; this time, R=20Ω
120V=I*20Ω
I=120/20=6A
