2 whoever might get this,

   I've got a homework assignment done 2morrow at school & I need some help if u'd b so kind? Here's my ? 

A 1.5k ohm resistor is found 2 have 22.5V across it,

a. what is the current in the resistor? I got 15A is this right?
b. What is the power dissipated in the resistor?_____ & please tell me how u came 2 this answer so I can figure it out 4 myself next time?
c. Could a 1/4W resistor be used in this application? Explain why?

What physical characteristic determines the power rating of a resistor?

What happens 2 electrical energy in a resistor?

Your help will b greatly appreciated & I don't mind hearing any feed back from all who decide 2 answer. Thank you very much 4 your time & I'll b awaiting a reply.

I don't think this is the place for homework questions, GVampyr, though you could look up Ohm's Law, resistor, power to get some ideas. Dysprosia 22:51, 7 Sep 2003 (UTC)
