What can be concluded from the following observations on a resistor made up of certain material? Calculate the power drawn in each case.

Case Current (A) Voltage (V)
A 0.2 1.6
B 0.4 3.2
C 0.6 4.8
d 0.8 6.4

i. As the ratio of voltage and current different readings are same, hence ohm’s is valid i.e., V = IR.

ii. Electric power is given by, P = IV

∴ (a) P1 = 0.2 × 1.6 = 0.32 watt

(b) P2 = 0.4 × 3.2 = 1.28 watt

(c) P= 0.6 × 4.8 = 2.88 watt

(d) P4 = 0.8 × 6.4 = 5.12 watt
