Answer: The rate of energy transfer by a 5 ohms resistor when there is a current of 0.2 A in it.= 1.25 watt.
Explanation:
Formula to compute power:
Power = [tex]I^2 R[/tex], I = cureent, R = resistance.
Given R = 5 ohm , Current = 0.5 A.
Then, power = [tex](0.5)^2\times 5=0.25\times5=1.25\ watt[/tex]
Hence, the rate of energy transfer by a 5 ohms resistor when there is a current of 0.2 A in it.= 1.25 watt.
