When the power delivered by a 100 volt battery is 40 watts, the equivalent resis

When the power delivered by a 100 volt battery is 40 watts, the equivalent resistance of the circuit is:

  • A. 100 ohms
  • B. 250 ohms
  • C. 300 ohms
  • D. 350 ohms

Step-by-step solution

Using P = V^2 / R, rearranged to R = V^2 / P. Substituting V = 100 V and P = 40 W gives R = (100^2)/40 = 10000/40 = 250 ohms.
