Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the total power dissipated in a circuit with a 24V source and a total resistance of 8Ω?
  • Step 1: Identify the voltage (V) in the circuit. In this case, V = 24 volts.
  • Step 2: Identify the total resistance (R) in the circuit. Here, R = 8 ohms.
  • Step 3: Use the power formula P = V^2 / R to calculate the power.
  • Step 4: Calculate V^2, which is 24V * 24V = 576.
  • Step 5: Divide the result from Step 4 by the resistance (R). So, 576 / 8 = 72.
  • Step 6: The total power dissipated in the circuit is 72 watts.
