Homework Statement


How much energy is dissipated as heat over 2 minute time interval by a 1.5 k(ohm) resistor which has a constant 20 V potential difference across its leads?

deltaV=-Ed


The Attempt at a Solution


In my notes this is the only equation that seems like it might work here. I assume I probably have to use some other equations to figure out the d

The E in this formula is electric field, which you don't have in this problem.
You need a formula for electric energy or a more general one relating power with energy along with a formula relating power with voltage and resistance.
