Answer: 8.57 A

Explanation:

To calculate the current (I) flowing through the heating element, we can use Ohm's law, which is given by the formula:

V = IR, where:

  • V is the voltage (Volts, V)
  • I is the current (Amperes, A)
  • R is the resistance (Ohms, Ω)

Given that the resistance (R) of the heating element is 14 Ω and the voltage (V) is 120 V, we can plug these values into the formula to find the current:

V = IR

120 = I·14

I = 8.57

The current flowing through the heating element is 8.57 A.
