Given:
Voltage across the resistor = 100 V
To find:
Power consumed by the resistor
Formula:
Power (P) = (Voltage (V)^2) / Resistance (R)
Calculation:
Since the voltage across the resistor is given, we need to find the resistance in order to calculate the power consumed.
The resistance can be found using Ohm's law:
Ohm's law: Voltage (V) = Current (I) × Resistance (R)
If the current flowing through the resistor is known, the resistance can be calculated as follows:
Resistance (R) = Voltage (V) / Current (I)
However, the current is not given in the question. Therefore, we cannot directly calculate the resistance.
However, we can still find the power consumed by the resistor using the given voltage.
Let's assume the resistance of the resistor is R.
Using the given voltage and the formula for power (P), we can write:
P = (V^2) / R
Since the value of R is unknown, we cannot calculate the exact value of power. However, we can compare the given options to find the correct answer.
According to option C, the power consumed by the resistor is 500 W.
So, if the resistance is such that the power consumed by the resistor is 500 W, then option C is correct.
Note: Without the value of resistance or current, we cannot calculate the exact power consumed by the resistor. Therefore, we can only compare the given options and choose the one that matches the calculated power.
