If the current through a resistor is 12 A and the voltage drop is 12 V, what is the power absorbed by the resistor? Answer to th

klasskru [66]

Answer:

144 W

Explanation:

The power absorbed by a resistor is the product of the current passing through it and the voltage drop across it. Hence

$P=IV$

$P=12\text{ A}\times12\text{ V}=144 \text{ W}$

Other variations of this formula are derived using Ohm's law, $V=IR$

$P=I^2R=\dfrac{V^2}{R}$

$R$ is the resistance of the resistor. It is what causes the voltage drop.

By how much does the earth-Sun distance change? 300,000 miles 500,000 miles 3,000,000 miles 3,500 miles

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

3,000,000 miles

Explanation:

The Earth's perihelion distance is about 147,000,000 kilometers and its aphelion distance is about 152,000,000 kilometers. So, the change in distance is about 5,000,000 kilometers which translates to about 3,000,000 in Miles.
