The Power, in Watts, Dissipated as Heat in a Resistor P=50\quad P = 50

Question 54

Multiple Choice

The power, in watts, dissipated as heat in a resistor varies jointly with the resistance, in ohms, and the square of the current, in amperes.A 30-ohm resistor carrying a current of 1 ampere dissipates 30 watts.
How much power is dissipated in a 50-ohm resistor carrying a current of 8 amperes?


A) P=50\quad P = 50 Watts
B) P=8\quad P = 8 Watts
C) P=3,200\quad P = 3,200 Watts
D) P=5\quad P = 5 Watts
E) P=40\quad P = 40 Watts
