[QUOTE="KidCudi11, post: 4359041, member: 474271"] Hey guys so I'm new here but really need help with just with a confirmation on the answer on this question. [h2]Homework Statement [/h2] Two resistors R1 and R2 are connected in series and these are connected in series to a battery. If 20% of the power coming from the battery is dissipated through the R1 resistor, determine the ratio R1/R2. [h2]Homework Equations[/h2] R=V/I (just moved around Ohms Law) [h2]The Attempt at a Solution[/h2] Well since the resistor is in a series you normally would add them together. Since you lose 20% of the power through the first resistor you have 80% left. So I'm not positive but i figured you would just divide 20/80 and you end up with 0.25. Thanks for the help I appreciate it. [/QUOTE]
