Which resistor dissipates the most power, the one with the greatest resistance or the one with the least resistance? explain why this should be?

The power dissipated by a resistor is equal to

where R is the value of the resistance and I is the current flowing through the resistor. From the formula, we can see that the larger R, the larger the dissipated power, so the greatest resistance dissipates more power.

Answerthe energy required is 1.60 × 10⁻¹⁸ j, to three significant figures.explanationwe define electric potential as the ratio electric potential energy to the charge,    then the following gives us the potential difference,      the formula  may be on your formula sheet.the change in electric potential energy would be the energy that would needed to move it from point a to point b. solving for that, we get    using q = 8.00  × 10⁻¹⁹ c and  δv = 2.00 v, we get    the energy required is 1.60 × 10⁻¹⁸ j, to three significant figures.

Is there any opitions? if you have the periodic table, the noble gases are 8a family, the halogen are the 7a family, and the nonmetal are  carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, oxygen, sulfur, selenium, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine and astatine.
