9702Potential difference and power
A resistor has resistance $R$. When the potential difference (p.d.) across the resistor is $V$, the current in the resistor is $I$. The power dissipated in the resistor is $P$. Work $W$ is done when charge $Q$ flows through the resistor. What is not a valid relationship between these variables?
- A$I = \dfrac{P}{V}$
- B$Q = \dfrac{W}{V}$
- C$R = \dfrac{P}{I^2}$
- D$R = \dfrac{V}{P}$
