How much power is produced if a voltage of #4 V# is applied to a circuit with a resistance of #36 Omega#?

Answer 1

Isabella Alvarez

Current in the circuit= E/R= 4/36=0.11 aMPS.

pOWER = VOLTAGE X X CURRENT= 4 X .11=0.44 WATTS.

To calculate the power produced in the circuit, you can use the formula: ( P = \frac{{V^2}}{{R}} ), where ( V ) is the voltage and ( R ) is the resistance. Substituting the given values: ( V = 4 , \text{V} ), ( R = 36 , \Omega ), ( P = \frac{{4^2}}{{36}} ). ( P = \frac{{16}}{{36}} ). ( P \approx 0.444 , \text{W} ). So, the power produced in the circuit is approximately ( 0.444 , \text{W} ).

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
