In a DC circuit, the power dissipated by a resistance is (voltage across it)2 divided by 'R'.

P = E2/R = (14.1)2 / 142 = 198.81/142 = 1.4 watts(rounded)

Three equal resistors connected in series across a voltage source dissipate a power of 10W what sould be the power desipated if same resistors are connected in parallel?

If three equal resistors are connected in parallel, the equivalent resistance will be one-third of the resistance in series. This lower resistance will result in a higher current flowing through the resistors when connected in parallel compared to when they are in series. Therefore, the power dissipated by the resistors in parallel will be greater than 10W.

The no-load output voltage of a DC power supply is measured at 15V When a 600 ohms load is connected to the output the output drops to 13.7V Calculate the internal resistance of the power supply?

This question can be answered using voltage dividers. Assume the power supply consists of a voltage source and a resistor. With no load, all of the voltage source's voltage is dissipated by the internal resistor of 15V. When there is a load, there are two resistors in series. To calculate the internal resistance:1. I=V/R. You know the 600ohm resistor dissipated 13.7V. So that would mean a current of 13.7/600=22.8mA2. If the 600ohm resistor dropped 13.7, kirchoff's voltage law would tell us the internal resistor dropped 15-13.7=1.3V.3. R=V/I, Use the current to calculate the internal resistance. 1.3/22.8mA = 56.9ohmsCommentFurther to the above answer, a voltage-source's voltage is not 'dissipated by the internal resistance when on no load'. On no load, there is no current passing through the internal resistance, so no 'voltage dissipation' can takes plac -i.e. the non-load voltage is 15 V.


When does Internal resistance equals external resistance?

If Rin = Rout, then the voltage at the output of the device goes down to half of the value that the circuit has without the external resistance. Scroll down to related links and look at "Interconnection of two audio units".


How do you calculate the equivalent resistance connected together in parallel?

Let the equivalent resistance be R and let there be 3 resistors namely R1,R2 and R3, connected in a parallel way. Now, the relation is: 1/R = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3


Is every resistance load resistance?

No. Load resistance is the value of the element actually doing the work of the circuit it is connected to. A speaker connected to an amplifier is the load.


What is a Parallel Resistance?

Parallel resistance refers to 2 or more resistors where the input sides are connected together and the output sides are connected together. The formula to calculate it is the inverse of the total resistance of the circuit is equal to the sum of the inverses of the individual resistances. 1/R (total) = 1/R (1) + 1/R (2) + 1/R (3) + …

How many amps will you get on a 9 volt battery with a 100 ohm resistor and a 100 ohm resistor and a 470 ohm resistor?

You need to calculate the equivalent resistance. For instance, if the three resistors are connected in series, simply add all the resistance values up. Then, you calculate the current (in amperes) using Ohm's Law (V=IR); that is, you need to divide the voltage by the resistance.
