A 1500 Ω resistor is rated at 2.75 W. What is the maximum potential difference on the resistor?Group of answer choices64.2 V14.7 V25.0 V8.00 V38.5 V

Respuesta :

Given that the resistance of the resistor is R = 1500 ohm.

The power of the resistor is P = 2.75 W

We have to find the maximum potential difference on the resistor.

The formula to find the potential difference is

[tex]\begin{gathered} P\text{ = }\frac{V^2}{R} \\ V=\sqrt[]{P\text{ R}} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Substituting the values, the potential difference will be

[tex]\begin{gathered} V=\sqrt[]{2.75\times1500} \\ =64.2\text{ V} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Thus, the maximum potential difference is 64.2 V.
