Use the following formula:

P= R x I²

So, when we apply it: P= 300Ω x (0.02A)²

P= 0.12 W

So, power dissipated in the resistance, in this case, is 0.12W

What are watts amps and ohms?

ohms is a measure of resistance(R) in a circuit. Watts is a measure of the power(P), in this case lets assume it is the power used by the resistive element (lamp, heater etc). Power(watts)=Current(Amps)x Current(amps) x Resistance(ohms) or Resistance (ohms)=Power(W)/(current x current)


Why in a circuit using power I equals Watts divided by Volts when you increase voltage the current will reduce so why does this differ from Ohms law when you increase voltage the current increases?

When you increase voltage (V) then, to get the same total power (W), the current (I) must be decreased. This result comes from the Power Law: Power = voltage x current Ohms Law does not deal with power at all, it deals only with the relationship between voltage, resistance and current: Voltage = resistance x current


How much is 10.2 kilo ohms?

10.2 kilo ohms is the resistance necessary for 1 volt to induce a current of 98.04 micro amperes. Ohm's law: voltage equals current times resistance.


Calculate the current if voltage equals 19.8 V and resistance equals 2.2 ohms?

9 amperes.


What is the power if current is 1.17A and resistance 1.1k Ohms and Round result to whole number?

Power = 1 A and resistance = 1100 Ohms.


Formula for watts and amps?

power in watts = voltage in volts x current in amps. or power in watts = current in amps x (resistance in ohms) squared i think what you meant was power in watts =(current in amps)squared x resistance in ohms


How powerful are ohms?

Ohms do not relate to power per se. Ohms do however contribute how much power a circuit can deliver. In a given circuit the lower the resistance (measured in ohms) the higher the current & higher the power. This is assuming the voltage remains constant.


In a series RL circuit Et equals 120 volts R equals 30 ohms and XL equals 40 ohms what is the apparent power?

The apparent power (VA) is a quantity which applies to alternating current with a reactive component. It does not apply to DC and, with AC, the apparent power and real power are the same if there is only resistance present. With AC, other than just resistance there can be capacitors or inductors (coils) present. Perfect examples of these types of components do not dissipate power but do conduct current if AC voltage is applied. In your example, the resistive component is 30 ohms while the reactive impedance is 40 ohms meaning the total impedance is 50 ohms (Pythagoras). You can't just add reactance and impedance. The current through the circuit will therefore be 2.4 amps (I=V/R OR 120/50). The real or true power will be 172.8 watts ( I2 x R OR 2.42 x 30) while the apparent power will be 288 VA (2.42 x 50).


An electric heating element has a resistance of 16ohm and is connected to a voltage of 120v How much current will flow in the circuit?

Ohms law states that E=I * R, or voltage equals current times resistance. Therefore current equals voltage divided by resistance. 120v divided by 16 ohms equals 7.5 amps.


What resistance in ohms will allow 20 amperes of current to flow in an appliance if the voltage is 220 volts?

The formula you are looking for is R = E/I


What is the current in a circuit that has a resistance of 30 ohms and a power of 2 watts?

Use the formula: P=IR (power = current x resistance).


How much is kilo ohms?

10.2 kilo ohms is the resistance necessary for 1 volt to induce a current of 98.04 micro amperes. Ohm's law: voltage equals current times resistance.
