Calculate the heat absorbed by a 20 Ω resistor when 40 V is applied across it.(a) 120 W(b) 100 W(c) 80 W(d) 110 WI got this question in an internship interview.Enquiry is from Motors Rating and Heating in portion Rating and Heating of Motors of Electric Drives

Answer»

Right option is (c) 80 W

Best explanation: The resistor always absorbs ACTIVE power and dissipates in the form of the HEAT. Power ABSORBED by a 20 Ω resistor is 40×40÷20=80 W.
