If you put 6.06 ohms into your calculator, this being a guess at the
resistance of the heating element of the shower and the only constant [1]
value in the equation, and then input different voltage values, then you
will see the current and power increasing with higher voltage.


[1] I know it's not completely constant but near enough.
