Is power directly proportional to the resistance?

Open in App

Solution

Resistance
The opposition that a substance provides to the flow of electric current is known as resistance. The letter R is used to signify it.
Know that the formula of power is,
$P = I^{2} R$
$P =$ is the power measured in watts.
$R =$ is the resistance measured in Ohms.
$I =$ is the electric current in Ohms.
Therefore, if current is constant then $P \propto R$
Hence, from the mathematical relationship between power and resistance, the power is directly proportional to the resistance.

We say that Power,P is inversely proportional to resistance,R because, P = V^2 / R

but , Power,P is also equal to I^2 * R. In this case,the Power becomes directly proportional to the resistance,R
