Question

The power dissipated in a resistor can be written as __________.

Answer 1

Answer:

$P=I^2R$

Explanation:

The power dissipated in a resistor is given by the equation:

$P=I^2 R$

where

P is the power

I is the current

R is the resistance

We can also rewrite the equation by using Ohm's law:

$V=IR$

where V is the potential difference across the resistor. Rewriting R as

$R=\frac{V}{I}$

The equation for the power becomes

$P=VI$
