Answer: 4 V
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for electrical power [tex]P[/tex] is:
[tex]P=\frac{V^{2}}{R}[/tex]
Where:
[tex]P=0.5 W[/tex] is the water heater electrical power
[tex]V[/tex] is he water heater voltage
[tex]R=32 \Omega[/tex] is the electrical resistance
Isolating [tex]V[/tex]:
[tex]V=\sqrt{PR}[/tex]
[tex]V=\sqrt{(0.5 W)(32 \Omega)}[/tex]
Hence:
[tex]V=4 V[/tex]
