Question

Two resistors of 2k ohm value each and 1 watt rating are connected in series. the net resistance and wattage value will be

Answer 1

Answer:

Net resistance is 4000 ohm

and new power is 2 watt

Answer 2

Answer:

Net Resistance: 4000 ohms or 4 Kohms &  Net Power = 2 watt

Explanation:

Power = I^2 X R;

1 = I ^2 X 2000   ( for one resistor)

I^2 = 1/2000

I = √1/2000 =

Also,

P = I^2  X R net

P = (√1/2000)^2 X 4000 = 4000/2000

P = 2 watt
