Theory & SafetyCâu 108 / 120
How much power is dissipated when 5 amperes flows through a 20-ohm resistor?
a.100 watts
b.500 watts
c.4 watts
d.2,000 watts
Giải thích
Using P = I squared x R, the calculation is 5 x 5 x 20 = 500 watts. The 100-watt answer multiplies current by resistance without squaring the current, 4 watts divides the wrong way, and 2,000 watts squares the resistance instead of the current.
