Question

Eight resistances [identical] are connected in series across a 220-V line 


a. Identify the voltage drop across each resistance.

b. Assuming that the current is 1 A, what is the R of each device?

c. What is the power dissipated in each?

What is the correct answer?

a. 27.5 V; b. 27.5 2; c. 27.5 W
O a. 27.5 V; b. 0.036 N; c. 27.5 W
O a. 27.5 V; b. 220 N; c. 220 W
O None of these are correct due to lack of given.
