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.
What process will double the power dissipated by a resistor?
Increase the voltage across the resistor by 41.4% .
What size resistor in parallel to reduce from 120 volts to 100 volts?
A resistor in parallel with a voltages source will not cause the voltage to drop, theoretically. To get a 20 volt drop you need a resistance in series, and the number of ohms is 20 divided by the current in amps. If the current is unknown or variable, the voltage can't be dropped by using a resistor.
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.
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?
1amp
Ac power that is converted to heat in a resistor is known as?
real power (as opposed to imaginary power, which is not dissipated)
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 are the basics of how flashlights work?
You need a conductor, power source and a resistor. You need a conductor, power source and a resistor. You need a conductor, power source and a resistor.
What is the formula for calculating the power dissipated in a resistor, given the current flowing through it and the resistance value, known as the i2r power?
The formula for calculating the power dissipated in a resistor, known as the i2r power, is P I2 R, where P is the power in watts, I is the current in amperes, and R is the resistance in ohms.
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 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
