Best Answer

The power to propel a ship is dependent on a number of things besides resistance. You must consider the size of the ship, its weight, and its passenger's weight before you can determine the power required to move it.

Why the resistance value not consider for the power formula?

If you ar referring to the power transfer equation, P = V1*V2/Z, it should be considered in Z, but often the resistance component is small so it can be neglected without serious error.


What determines the operating voltage of an incandescent globe?

The length ,thickness, and alloy of the filament determines its resistance. The lower the resistance, the lower the voltage required to power it.


What is the relationship between Power Ampere and resistance?

power=i square*resistance or power=v suare/resistance


Why does a car need a engin?

So that there's a power source to propel the vehicle.


What is thrust in an aircraft?

Thrust is the power made by a jet engine to propel an aircraft.


What effect does reducing resistance have on the power in a circuit?

Since power = voltage2/resistance, reducing the resistance will increase the power of the circuit. Incidentally, power is not 'consumed'; it's energy that's consumed.


Power may be expressed as what times resistance?

Power=current squared times resistance


What are the relationships between current power and resistance?

Power is inversely proportional to resistance. Ohm's law: Current is voltage divided by resistance Power law: Power is voltage times current, therefore power is voltage squared divided by resistance.


What is resistance power?

All resistances will emit heat energy when a current flows. The heat production rate (or power) can be found by any of these formulas: Power = Current * Voltage Power = Current2 * Resistance Power = Voltage2 / Resistance. Power is given in Watts when Current is in Amps, Voltage in Volts, and Resistance in Ohms.


Do Dead batteries have high internal resistance?

yes, batteries have high internal resistance. The higher the resistance the lower power you get out of the batter. Therefore if you no power you have very high resistance.


In a parallel circuit adding more bulbs will increase?

It will decrease the effective load resistance across the power supply terminals, increase the total current through the load, and increase the total power required to be supplied by the power supply.


Why does an electric iron have a resistance of 15 ohms?

I never measured the resistance of an electric iron, but: the 15 ohm resistance is probably required to develop a required 806 watts of power. Using Ohm's law, I(current) = E(voltage)/R(resistance), therefore I(current) =110 volts/15 ohms = 7.33 Amps (current), and, Power (watts) = E(voltage) X I(current); 110 volts X 7.33 amps = 806 watts. The iron requires that wattage to develop enough heat in the sole of the iron. Hope this helps.
