Abattery and a resistor are wired into a circuit. the resistor dissipates 0.50 w. now two batteries, each identical to the original one, are connected in series with the resistor. part a what power does it dissipate?

The resistor dissipates 1 W when two identical batteries are connected in series.

Explanation:

Power dissipated is directly proportional to the Voltage and Current.

Connected in series, the total voltage of two batteries is equal to the sum of the voltage of each one.

If I double the applied voltage, the dissipated power will be double.

P = V*I

The losses that occurs inside any system, or the amount of deficiency that happens in any system's power and it is mainly due to the resistive elements in the circuit or system called as the power dissipation.

As, the Power can be calculated by analyzing the amount of Potential difference,V and the flow of current,I between any two points that are under-observation. While we can write it as,

P=V.I,

And the unit is, Watt,W.

While we are provided by the power dissipation value, that is about 0.50 W.

And the two batteries,V are connected in series with the resistors,R. And we have connection given to us in series. So, the current,I distribution will be same all across the circuit.

so here is the information for current research:

-nrel's geothermal analysts, scientists, and engineers perform a full range of research from developing advanced methods of locating and accessing geothermal resources to exploring innovative technologies to extract and produce clean energy from the heat of the earth

and here is the information for the technology of geothermal energy:

-it's clean and sustainable

-resources of geothermal energy range from the shallow ground to hot water and hot rock found a few miles beneath the earth's surface, and down even deeper to the extremely high temperatures of molten rock called magma

-almost everywhere, the shallow ground or upper 10 feet of the earth's surface maintains a nearly constant temperature between 50° and 60°f (10° and 16°c)

-geothermal heat pumps can tap into this resource to heat and cool buildings

-a geothermal heat pump system consists of a heat pump, an air delivery system (ductwork), and a heat exchanger-a system of pipes buried in the shallow ground near the building

-in the winter, the heat pump removes heat from the heat exchanger and pumps it into the indoor air delivery system

-in the summer, the process is reversed, and the heat pump moves heat from the indoor air into the heat exchanger

-the heat removed from the indoor air during the summer can also be used to provide a free source of hot water
