Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In a circuit with a 9V battery and a 3Ω resistor, what is the power dissipated by the resistor? (2021)
  • Step 1: Identify the values given in the problem. We have a voltage (V) of 9 volts and a resistance (R) of 3 ohms.
  • Step 2: Recall the formula for power (P) in a resistor, which is P = V² / R.
  • Step 3: Substitute the values into the formula. Replace V with 9V and R with 3Ω: P = (9V)² / 3Ω.
  • Step 4: Calculate (9V)², which is 81V².
  • Step 5: Now divide 81V² by 3Ω: 81V² / 3Ω = 27W.
  • Step 6: Conclude that the power dissipated by the resistor is 27 watts.
