Answer

144 Ω

Reason — Resistance of an electrical appliance (rating 100 W, 120 V) is —

RA=V2PARA = \dfrac{V^2}{PA}

Substituting the values in the formula above we get,

RA=1202100RA=144ΩRA = \dfrac{120^2}{100} \\[0.5em] \Rightarrow RA = 144 Ω

Hence, resistance of an electrical appliance = 144 Ω
