A 100Ω resistor is connected to a 12V battery. What is the power dissipated in the resistor?
A.C) 1.2 W
B.D) 0.12 W
C.A) 1.44 W
D.B) 12 W
Explanation
Core Concept
The power dissipated in a resistor can be calculated using P = V²/R. Substituting the given values: P = (12V)²/100Ω = 144V²/100Ω = 1.44 W.
Correct Answer
CA) 1.44 W
