A 100Ω resistor is connected to a 12V battery. What is the power dissipated in the resistor?
A.1.44 W
B.12 W
C.1.2 W
D.0.12 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
A1.44 W
