Click For Summary
The calculations for the resistor problem indicate that using Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL) resulted in a voltage across the resistor of 6.3 V, leading to a resistance value of 1.4 ohms. Additionally, applying the power formula P=VI yielded a power of 28.35 W. Responses in the discussion confirm that these answers are correct. The calculations align with the fundamental principles of circuit analysis. Overall, the approach and results are validated by peers in the thread.

Homework Equations



\[R = \frac{V}{I}\]

P=VI



The Attempt at a Solution



a) Using KVL around the loop, I got V_{R}=6.3 V.
Then I used \R = \frac{V}{I}\ and got R = 1.4 ohms.

b)I used P=VI and got P = 28.35 W.

Are my answers correct?
