Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A resistor dissipates 64 Watts of power when connected to a 16 Ohm resistor. Calculate the current flowing through it and the voltage across it.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Use P = IΒ²R to find both I and V.

Question 2

A device uses a power of 150 Watts at 120 Volts. What is the resistance? How much current is flowing?

πŸ’‘ Hint: First find resistance using the formula, then calculate current.
