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.

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 will happen when source resistance equals load restiance?

when source resistance and load resistance are equal maximum power is transfered


Why does power decrease when resistance increases?

First, this statement stands as long as voltage is constant. If you held the current constant then power would increase as resistance increases.V=IR. For a fixed voltage if you increase the resistance (R) then the current (I) will decrease - following the formula.Power = VI so as the resistance increases the value of VI (power) decreases as V is constant and I gets smaller.Therefore the power is decreasing as the resistance increases (when voltage is held constant).Hope this helps.


When checking resistance does the power have to be off?

Short answer: yes. Most modern multimeters will not be damaged by external power when measuring resistance. But they will give erroneous readings. It is best to remove the power and disconnect the measured resistance from the larger circuit. A multimeter determines resistance by applying a small voltage, and measuring the resulting current. If the resistor has an external voltage source, then it will interfere with the measurement. Furthermore, if the resistance is connected to a larger circuit, then the resistance of this larger circuit will also be involved.

What does the power vs resistance graph illustrate and how can it be used to analyze the relationship between power and resistance in a system?

The power vs resistance graph illustrates how power output changes with varying levels of resistance in a system. It can be used to analyze the relationship between power and resistance by showing how power increases as resistance decreases, and vice versa. This graph helps in understanding how changes in resistance impact the power output of a system.


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.


Is power directly proportional to resistance?

No, power is not directly proportional to resistance. The power dissipated in a circuit is given by P = I^2 * R, where I is the current flowing through the circuit and R is the resistance. This means that power is proportional to the square of the current but linearly proportional to resistance.


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.


What happens to the power of an electric circuit of the resistance is decreased?

if the resistance is decreased and the current stays the same, then the power decreases.


How much heat is created with a resistance?

Power consumed by a resistance is I2R


Why powerful lamps have lower resistance than less powerful lamps?

Power is voltage squared, divided by resistance (P = V2/R) so, for a given voltage, the lower the resistance, the greater the power!

A cable power or otherwise has no final or beginning resistance unless power is applied. therefore no unswer to the question
