Power/Energy
Problem (6.7)
A 500 W
resistor and a 1000 W
resistor are in series. Eight (8) milliamps flows through the series
combination.
-
Draw the circuit showing
the two resistors in series.
-
How much power is dissipated
by each resistor?
-
Both resistors are rated
at a quarter watt. Which resistor will get warmer? Devise a
logical argument for your answer!
