When a 1 ohm resistor is connected across the potential difference of 20 V, what will be power dissipation in it?
Added by Cooper C.
Step 1
Step 1: Calculate the power dissipation using the formula P = V^2 / R, where P is the power dissipation, V is the potential difference, and R is the resistance. Show more…

Heat dissipation The power, in watts, dissipated as heat in a resistor varies directly with the square of the voltage and inversely with the resistance. If 20 volts are placed across a 20 -ohm resistor, it will dissipate 20 watts. What voltage across a 10 -ohm resistor will dissipate 40 watts?
