Homework Statement



Calculate the power dissipated by a resistor connected to a 1.5 V battery when R = 0.25 ohms.

Homework Equations



I = V/R

The Attempt at a Solution



I = V/R
=1.5 V/0.25 ohms
=6.0 A

So, I know the current, but I don't know how to get the power that is dissipated. Can somebody please help me?
