The illustration is a schematic diagram of a resistor connected to a voltage source of 51 volts. As a result, the resistor dissipates power in the form of heat. The power P lost when a voltage E is placed across a resistance R (in ohms) is given by the formula P=E2RP = \frac { E ^ { 2 } } { R } . If P is 4.5 watts and E is 51 volts, find R .
