- The power dissipated in a resistor is given by P = V2/R, which means power decreases if resistance increases. Yet this power is also given by P = I2R, which means power increases if resistance increases. Explain why there is no contradiction here.arrow_forwardConsider the circuit below. The battery has an emf of = 30.00 V and an internal resistance of r = 1,00 . (a) Find the equivalent resistance of the circuit and the current out of the battery. (b) Find the current through each resistor, (c) Find die potential drop across each resistor, (d) Find the power dissipated by each resistor, (e) Find the total power supplied by the batteries.arrow_forwardThe severity of a shock depends on die magnitude of the current through your body. Would you prefer to be in series or in parallel with a resistance, such as the heating element of a toaster, if you were shocked by it? Explain.arrow_forward
