Answer:
36 Ω
Explanation:
Since the 3 resistors are connected in parallel.
The combined resistance of the resistor is
1/Rc = 1/R + 1/R + 1/R ...................... Equation 1
Where Rc = combined resistance of the three resistor, R1 = Resistance of each of the resistor
Rc = R/3 ....................... Equation 2
The formula of power is given as
P = V²/Rc
Rc = V²/P ................ Equation 3
Where V = Voltage, R = Combined Resistance, P = power.
Given: V = 48 V, 192 W.
Substitute into equation 3
Rc = 48²/192
Rc = 12 Ω
From equation 2
Rc = R/3
R = 3Rc
Where Rc = 12 Ω
R = 3×12
R = 36 Ω
Hence the resistance on each resistor = 36 Ω
