SUMMARY
The power dissipated in a resistor is directly related to the voltage across it, following the formula P = V²/R, where P is power, V is voltage, and R is resistance. As the voltage increases, the power dissipation increases quadratically, assuming resistance remains constant. This relationship is crucial for understanding electrical circuits and optimizing performance in various applications. Properly documenting the problem-solving process is essential for effective assistance in discussions.
