How can I find the energy dissipated in the resistor?

To find the energy dissipated in a resistor, you can use the formula: Energy (current)2 x resistance x time. This formula calculates the energy dissipated in the resistor based on the current flowing through it, the resistance of the resistor, and the time the current flows.


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 is the formula of calculating effective current if resistor and voltage is given?

I = E/R or Current = Voltage/Resistance (Ohm's Law)


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).


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


What is the power dissipated a resistor with a current of 0.02 amps and a resistance of 1000 ohms?

P = I^2 x R] P = 0.2^2 x 100 P = 4 W


What is the power dissipated by a resistor with a current of 0.02 A and a resistance of 1000 ohms?

Power = I2 R = (0.02)2 x (1,000) = 0.4 watt


How do you calculate power loss from a resistor?

The power dissipated across a resistor, or any device for that matter, is watts, or voltage times current. If you don't know one of voltage or current, you can calculate it from Ohm's law: voltage equals resistance times current. So; if you know voltage and current, power is voltage times current; if you know voltage and resistance, watts is voltage squared divided by resistance; and if you know current and resistance, watts is current squared times resistance.


Is an resistor an conductor or a insulator?

A resistor is a conductor that dissipates some of the electrical energy fromthe current flowing through it. The energy dissipated by the resistor is(current through it)2 x (resistance)


How are power dissipated in a load or in a resistor?

Due to energy usage and/or the reduction in conductance (increase in resistance) in a given load or resistor, some electrical energy is lost through that component. As such, a proportional drop in current and voltage occurs.


At what level will typical resistors burn out?

A typical resistor will burn out when it dissipates power in excess of double its power dissipation rating for an extended period of time. The power dissipated by a resistor is equal to I2R or E2/R, where E = the voltage across the resistor I = the current through the resistor R = the resistance of the resistor
