Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If a circuit has a current of 3A flowing through a 10Ω resistor, what is the power dissipated by the resistor?
  • Step 1: Identify the current (I) flowing through the resistor. In this case, I = 3A.
  • Step 2: Identify the resistance (R) of the resistor. Here, R = 10Ω.
  • Step 3: Use the formula for power (P) dissipated by a resistor, which is P = I^2 * R.
  • Step 4: Calculate I^2. Since I = 3A, I^2 = 3 * 3 = 9.
  • Step 5: Multiply I^2 by R to find the power. So, P = 9 * 10 = 90W.
