Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the Given Values

We are given the voltage \( V = 120 \, \text{V} \) and the current \( I = 1.500 \, \text{A} \).

Step 2: Use Ohm's Law to Find Resistance

Ohm's Law states that the resistance \( R \) can be calculated using the formula: \[ R = \frac{V}{I} \]

Step 3: Substitute the Given Values into the Formula

Substitute the given values into the formula: \[ R = \frac{120 \, \text{V}}{1.500 \, \text{A}} \]

Step 4: Calculate the Resistance

Perform the division to find the resistance: \[ R = 80 \, \Omega \]

Final Answer

The resistance of the heating element is \(\boxed{80 \, \Omega}\).
