The power dissipated by a uniform wire of resistance \(100 \Omega\) when a potential difference of 120 V is applied across its ends is

  1. A 122 W
  2. B 144 W
  3. C 160 W
  4. D 200 W
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 144 W

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(P = \frac{V^2}{R}\) \(P = \frac{(120 \, V)^2}{100 \, \Omega}\) \(P = 144 \, W\)
