Answer:
The value of resistance of each resistor, R is 2.25 Ω
Explanation:
Given;
voltage across the three resistor, V = 1.5 V
power dissipated by the resistors, P = 3.00 W
the resistance of each resistor, = R
The effective resistance of the three resistors is given by;
R(effective) = R/3
Apply ohms law to determine the current delivered by the source;
V = IR
I = V/R
I = 3V/R
Also, power is calculated as;
P = IV
P = (3V/R) x V
P = 3V²/R
R = 3V² / P
R = (3 x 1.5²) / 3
R = 2.25 Ω
Therefore, the value of resistance of each resistor, R is 2.25 Ω
