To determine

To explain: the reason why the resistor with the lower resistance will operate at a lower temperature.

Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

Power is given by P=I2R .

Here, I and R are current and resistance respectively.

Power is proportional to the resistance. That is, as resistance decreases, the power dissipated will also decrease. Due to low power dissipation, the resistor with low resistance will be cooler.

Conclusion:

Hence, the resistor with the lower resistance will operate at a lower temperature.
