A 25.0 kΩ resistor is hooked up to a 90.0 V battery in a circuit with a switch. a.) Draw a circuit diagram for the circuit described. Label all parts and values. b.) What is the current flowing through the resistor? c.) What is the power dissipated by the resistor? **How do I do all these parts? :/ Thank you!! :D

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

please wait a moment

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay!

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

here is your circuit: |dw:1432230335394:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay! is that all i label? what about the values? :O

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

the requested current is given applying the Ohm's law: \[I = \frac{V}{R} = \frac{{90}}{{25000}} = ...?Amperes\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 0.0036 Amperes?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

yes! 0.0036 Amperes, or 3.6 mAmperes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yay!! so that is the answer for part b?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and this is for part a? |dw:1432231307771:dw| where v= 90 ?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

yes!

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

the power W dissipated by your resistor, is given by the subsequent formula: \[W = \frac{{{V^2}}}{R} = \frac{{{{90}^2}}}{{25000}} = ...?Watts\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yay!! so this is for part c, right? we get 0.324 Watts ?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

that's right!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yay!! and so we are done? :O

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

yes! we have finished!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yay!! thank you!! :D
