Which of the following is true about resistors that are connected in series? The reciprocal of the total voltage is equal to the sum of the reciprocal of each voltage drop. The voltage drops across each resistor are equal to each other and are equal to the total voltage. The voltage drops across each resistor are equal to each other, while the voltage across the source is the sum of each voltage drop. The answer cannot be found on the other choices.
An unknown resistor is connected between the terminals of a 9.00 V battery. Energy is dissipated in the resistor at the rate of 0.580 W. The same resistor is then connected between the terminals of a 7.50 V battery. At what rate is energy now dissipated? ________________W (please show units when you work this out so that I can follow it easier.)
