Question
To understand how to compute power dissipation in a resistive circuit. (Figure 1) The circuit in the diagram consists of a batter What is the total power P_total dissipated in the resistive elements of the circuit? Express your answer in terms of one or more of the following variables: epsilon r_int and R. What is the total power P_total dissipated in the resistive elements of the circuit, in terms of the EMF epsilon of the battery and the current in the circuit? Express your answer in terms of epsilon and the ammeter current I.Explanation / Answer
F)
Total power dissipated, P_total = E^2/Rnet
= E^2/(r_int + R)
G) P_total = E*I
