What is the current in the resistor at this time?arrow_forwardIn a circuit, all the power delivered by the battery must be dissipated by the elements to the circuit. This is simply a statement of the conservation of energy. How much energy dissipated depends on the resistance of the element and the voltage across the resistor, or the current through it. The relevant equations for the problems are as follows. For a circuit element, the power dissipated (or generated) is P = IV, where Vand I are the voltage across and current through a circuit element. We know that a resistor obeys OhmA ¢A^A^'s Law V=IR, which means that for a resistor, the power dissipated is P = I*R = V²/R. Consider the following two circuits with identical batteries and re- sistors.
