Homework Statement
Two resistors when connected in series to a 110 V line use one-fourth the power
that is used when they are connected in parallel. If one resistor is 2.0 kΩ, what is the resistance of the other?
Homework Equations
V=IR
The Attempt at a Solution
v=ir
110=i(2000+x)
110=1/4(2000+x)
440=2000+x
x=440-2000
x=-1560
snce x= 1560
the value of another resistance is 1.56 kilo ohm
Did I do that right?
