Question

A constant voltage is applied across a circuit. If the resistance in the circuit is doubled, what is the effect on the power dissipated by the circuit? (a)(a) The power dissipated remains constant. (b)(b) The power dissipated is doubled. (c)(c) The power dissipated is reduced by a factor of 44. (d)(d) The power dissipated is reduced by a factor of 22. (e)(e) The power dissipated is quadrupled.

In this problem, we have a source voltage (V)(V) rated at:

V=110 VV=110\mathrm{~V}

And two different lightbulbs rated at:

P1=18 WP2=12 W\begin{aligned} P_1&=18\mathrm{~W} \\ P_2&=12\mathrm{~W} \end{aligned}

We want to determine which draws the highest current (I)(I) and has the highest resistance (R)(R).

What equation defines the relationship between P,V,I,R?P,V,I,R?
