What process will double the power dissipated by a resistor?
Increase the voltage across the resistor by 41.4% .
A 100 ohm resistor is placed across a 100v power source what is the power?
Power dissipated in a resistance = E2/R = (100)2/100 = 100 watts.
Ac power that is converted to heat in a resistor is known as?
real power (as opposed to imaginary power, which is not dissipated)
In a circuit is it possible that the sum of the voltage dissipated across each resistor larger than the voltage provided by the source How about the power?
No. This would mean more power is used than is provided - an impossibility. It is possible that you may not be accounting for a power source in your circuit, or have the actual source modelled incorrecty.
What is the power dissipated by a resistor with a current of 0.02 A adn a resistance of 1000 ohms?
Power dissipated = I2R 0.022 x 1000 = 0.4 watts
2 resistors unequal value are in parallel. Would the power dissipated by the resistor with larger ohmic value be greater than the power dissipated by the resistor of lesser value?
No, because the power dissipated in a resistor is proportional to the square of the current through the resistor but only directly proportional to the resistance of the resistor (I^2 * R) and the current through the lower value resistor will be higher than the current through the higher value resistor, the lower value resistor will usually dissipate more power.

A 120 ohm resistor a 60 ohm resistor and a 40 ohm resistor are connected in parallel to a 120 volt power source. What is the current running through the 120 ohm resistor?

How Determine the power dissipated by the resistor?
Power dissipated by the resistor = I^2 * R or V^2 / R, where R = its resistance value, I = the current in the resistor, and V = the voltage drop across the two terminals of the resistor. You need to measure or find the information of either I (using an ammeter) or V (a voltmeter).
A 120 ohm resistor a 60 ohm resistor and a 40 ohm resistor are connected in parallel to a 120 volt power source. What is the effective resistance of the three resistors?
The effective resistance of those three resistors in parallel is 20 ohms. And it makes no difference what the power source is, or whether they're even connected to a power source at all. As soon as those three resistors are in parallel, their effective resistance is 20 ohms immediately, even if they're still in the drawer.

What power is dissipated by an 8.2 k resistor if a current of 0.005 amps pass's through the resistor?
.205 watts or 205 mw
What is the power dissipated by a resistor with a current of 2 amps and a resistance of 1000 ohms?
I = 2A R = 1000Ω Power Dissipated P = I2R = (2A)2(1000Ω) = 4000W Voltage across resistor V = IR = (2A)(1000Ω) = 2000V
