Question

a device experiences a voltage drop of 5.0 v across it while a current of 10.0 ma flows through it. how much power does it dissipate?

Answer 1

0.050 watts of power.

Step-by-step explanation:

The power dissipated by the device can be calculated using the formula:

Power = Voltage x Current

Substituting the given values, we get:

Power = 5.0 V x 10.0 mA

Converting milliampere (mA) to ampere (A):

Power = 5.0 V x 0.010 A

Power = 0.050 W

Therefore, the device dissipates 0.050 watts of power.
