Homework Statement



The power rating of a resistor is 0.256 W. If the value of the resistor is 210 Ω, what is the maximum current it can draw?

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


I feel like I am missing a variable. Help Please !

No, you have everything you need.
Suppose the resistor draws a current I, what is the power it dissipates?
 
P=vi
 
still very confuesed

P=vi

now give a formula for the power with only I and R in it (wich are known).

hint: ohm's law
 
P=(IR)I ! ! ! ! Thank you so much !
 

Thread 'Initial conditions for orbits around a wormhole'

Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...

Thread 'Help to convert units of a simple formula'

The value of H equals ## 10^{3}## in natural units, According to : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_units, ## t \sim 10^{-21} sec = 10^{21} Hz ##, and since ## \text{GeV} \sim 10^{24} \text{Hz } ##, ## GeV \sim 10^{24} \times 10^{-21} = 10^3 ## in natural units. So is this conversion correct? Also in the above formula, can I convert H to that natural units , since it’s a constant, while keeping k in Hz ?
