The maximum number of volts, E, that can be placed across a resistor is given by the formula
where P is the number of watts of power that the resistor can absorb and R is the resistance of the resistor in ohms. If a
-watt resistor has a resistance of 10,000 ohms, find the largest number of volts of electricity that could be placed across the resistor.
◦ 2500 volts
◦ 25 volts
◦ 100 volts
◦ 50 volts
