Multiple Choice. Resistors R1-8ohms, R2-4ohms, R3-6ohms, R4-2ohms are connected in series to a voltage source. Which resistor will dissipate the most power? A) R3 B) R1 C) R2 D) R4
Added by Robert M.
Step 1
The power dissipated in a resistor can be calculated using the formula P=I^2R, where I is the current and R is the resistance. Since the current is the same for all resistors, the resistor with the highest resistance will dissipate the most power. Show more…
