The discussion revolves around determining the number of resistors, each with a resistance of 70 ohms, that can be connected in a series circuit given a maximum power loss of 1800W and a voltage supply of 127V. There appears to be some confusion regarding the resistance value used in calculations.
The discussion is ongoing, with participants clarifying the resistance value and confirming the calculations based on that value. There is no explicit consensus yet, but some participants acknowledge the correction regarding the resistance.
There is a noted confusion regarding the resistance value (7 ohms vs. 70 ohms), which could impact the calculations and conclusions drawn from the problem statement.
chawki said:Homework Statement
How many resistors, R = 70 ohms can be connected in a series circuit when the maximum power loss of the circuit is 1800W. and the voltages supply is 127V
Homework Equations
Number of resistors!
The Attempt at a Solution
P = V2 / x*R
x*7=1272/1800
x=1.28
so only one resistor can be connected.
If R=7Ω , then this is correct !chawki said:Homework Statement
