Answer: B. V²/ R

Explanation:

Power (P) in an electrical circuit is calculated using the formula:

P=VxI

Or, V = R x I

I=V/R

So, P = V x V / R = V² / R

Where:

• V is the voltage across the circuit (in volts)

• R is the resistance of the circuit (in ohms)

Answer: A. Increase

Explanation:

From the power formula (P = V² / R), we can see that power is inversely proportional to resistance. If
resistance (R) increases while current (I) remains constant, the voltage (V) across the circuit must
also increase to maintain the same current. This increase in voltage leads to an increase in power.

Answer: A. Increase

Explanation:

Again, using the power formula (P = V²/R), we see that power is inversely proportional to resistance.
If resistance (R) decreases while voltage (V) remains constant, the power (P) will increase.

a) Calculate the current across the resistor.

We can use Ohm's Law to calculate the current (I) flowing through the resistor. Ohm's Law states
that the voltage (V) across a resistor is equal to the product of the current (I) flowing through it and
its resistance (R). Mathematically,1 this is expressed as:

V=IxR

In this case, we know the voltage (V) is 9V and the resistance (R) is 10Ω. We can rearrange the
equation to solve for the current (I):

I=V/R

Substituting the values:

I = 9V / 10Ω = 0.9 A

Therefore, the current across the resistor is 0.9 amperes.

b) Calculate the power across the resistor.

The power (P) dissipated by a resistor can be calculated using the formula:

P=VxI

where V is the voltage across the resistor and I is the current flowing through it.2

We already know the voltage (V) is 9V and we calculated the current (I) to be 0.9A. Substituting
these values:

P = 9V x 0.9A = 8.1 watts

Therefore, the power across the resistor is 8.1 watts.

Given:

• Voltage (V) = 10.0 V

• Resistance (R) = 40.0 Ω

Formula:

The power (P) delivered to a resistor can be calculated using the following formula:

P = V2 / R

Calculation:

Substituting the given values into the formula:

P = (10.0 V)² / 40.0 Ω

P = 2.5 W

Therefore, the power delivered to the resistor is 2.5 watts.

Explanation:

• Power: Power is the rate at which energy is transferred or used. In this case, it represents
the rate at which electrical energy is converted into heat energy by the resistor.

• Voltage: Voltage is the electrical potential difference between two points. It drives the flow
of current through the resistor.

• Resistance: Resistance is the opposition to the flow of electric current. It determines how
much current flows for a given voltage.

In essence, the higher the voltage and the lower the resistance, the greater the power delivered to
the resistor.

Given:

• Current (I) = 12 A

• Resistance (R) = 14 Ω

Formula:

We can use the formula for power (P) in terms of current and resistance:

P = I² x R

Calculation:

Substituting the given values:

P = (12 A)² x 14 Ω

P = 144 A² x 14 Ω = 2016 W

Therefore, the power rating of the refrigerator is 2016 watts.

Explanation:

• Power (P): Power is the rate at which energy is transferred or used. In this case, it represents
the electrical power consumed by the refrigerator.

• Current (I): Current is the flow of electric charge through a circuit. It is measured in amperes
(A).

• Resistance (R): Resistance is the opposition to the flow of electric current. It is measured in
ohms (Ω).

The formula P = I² x R relates these quantities. It tells us that the power consumed by a device is
equal to the square of the current flowing through it multiplied by its resistance.

Understanding the Problem:

We are given:

• Power (P) = 1400 W

• Voltage (V) = 120 V

We need to find the resistance (R).

Relevant Formula:

We can use Ohm's Law and the power formula to solve this problem.

• Ohm's Law: V = IR (where I is the current)

• Power Formula: P = VI

Steps:

1. Find the Current (I):

Using the power formula, we can rearrange it to solve for current:

I = P / V = 1400 W / 120 V = 11.67 A

2. Find the Resistance (R):

Now, using Ohm's Law, we can solve for resistance:

R = V / I = 120 V / 11.67 A ≈ 10.27 Ω

Therefore, the resistance of the microwave oven is approximately 10.27 ohms.

Explanation:

• The power rating of the microwave oven tells us how much electrical energy it consumes per
unit of time.

• The voltage rating tells us the potential difference across the oven's terminals.

• Ohm's Law relates the voltage, current, and resistance in an electrical circuit.

• By calculating the current using the power formula and then applying Ohm's Law, we can
determine the resistance of the oven.

Given:

• Power (P) = 15 W

• Current (I) = 50 mA = 0.05 A (since 1 mA = 0.001 A)

PR.ING. Aymen Chebli A.U 2024/2025

Formula:

We can use the formula relating power, current, and resistance:

P = I² x R

Where:

• P is power in watts (W)

• I is current in amperes (A)

• R is resistance in ohms (Ω)

Calculation:

Rearranging the formula to solve for resistance (R):

R = P / I²

Substituting the given values:

R = 15 W / (0.05 A)²

Calculating:

R = 15 W / 0.0025 A² = 6000 Ω

Therefore, the resistance of the electric shaver is 6000 ohms.

Given:

• Power rating (P) = 950 W

• Resistance (R) = 45 Ω

Formula:

We can use the formula relating power, current, and resistance:

P = I² x R

Where:

• P is power in watts (W)

• I is current in amperes (A)

• R is resistance in ohms (Ω)

PR.ING. Aymen Chebli A.U 2024/2025

Calculation:

1. Rearrange the formula to solve for current (I):

I = √P / R

2. Substitute the given values:

I = √950 𝑊 / 45 𝛺

3. Calculate the square root:

I = √21.11 A

4. Take the square root:

I ≈ 4.6 A

Therefore, the current flowing through the dishwasher is approximately 4.6 amperes.

Explanation:

• The power rating of 950 W tells us how much electrical energy the dishwasher consumes per
second.

• The resistance of 45 Ω indicates how much the dishwasher resists the flow of electric
current.

• The formula P = I² x R relates these quantities. By rearranging the formula and substituting
the given values, we can calculate the current flowing through the dishwasher.
