Answer:
The arrangement with the greatest resistance is the light bulb of option C. 4 W, 4.5 V
Explanation:
The equation for electric power is
power P = IV
also, I = V/R,
substituting into the equation, we have
[tex]P = \frac{V^{2} }{R}[/tex]
[tex]R = \frac{V^{2} }{P}[/tex]
a) [tex]R = \frac{1.5^{2} }{0.8}[/tex] = 2.8 Ω
b) [tex]R = \frac{3^{2} }{6}[/tex] = 1.5 Ω
c) [tex]R = \frac{4.5^{2} }{4}[/tex] 5.06 Ω
d) [tex]R = \frac{6^{2} }{8}[/tex] = 4.5 Ω
from the calculations, one can see that the lightbulb with te greates resistance is
C. 4 W, 4.5 V
