Question 1 Report



The electrical power developed in the resistor above is 

Answer Details

The circuit diagram shows a 16 V battery connected to a single 2 Ω resistor in a closed loop. To find the power dissipated in the resistor, use the formula:

\(P = \frac{V^2}{R}\)

Substituting the values:

\(P = \frac{(16)^2}{2} = \frac{256}{2} = 128 \text{ W}\)

The total power dissipated in the circuit is 128 W.
