Quelle est la puissance totale consommée par deux résistances de 10 ohms branchées en série aux bornes d'une pile de 10 volts?

  1. A2 watts
  2. B20 watts
  3. C0,5 watt
  4. D5 watts

Correct answer: D — 5 watts. Question tirée de la banque officielle d'ISDE.

Why

With two 10-ohm resistors in series, the total resistance becomes 20 ohms, which limits the current flowing from the 10-volt battery to 0.5 amperes. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
