An electric device draws 7.10 A at 240 V. If the voltage drops by 10 % , what will be the current, assuming nothing else changes? Next, if the resistance of the device were reduced by 10 %, what current would be drawn at 240 V? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
