Power is inversely proportional to resistance.

Ohm's law: Current is voltage divided by resistance

Power law: Power is voltage times current, therefore power is voltage squared divided by resistance.

Power can be measured in Watts = Amps x Volts x Power Factor. Volts = Current x Resistance. For a resistive load PF = 1. Therefore, Power = Current squared x Resistance.

What is resistance power?

All resistances will emit heat energy when a current flows. The heat production rate (or power) can be found by any of these formulas: Power = Current * Voltage Power = Current2 * Resistance Power = Voltage2 / Resistance. Power is given in Watts when Current is in Amps, Voltage in Volts, and Resistance in Ohms.


How do you calculate power loss from a resistor?

The power dissipated across a resistor, or any device for that matter, is watts, or voltage times current. If you don't know one of voltage or current, you can calculate it from Ohm's law: voltage equals resistance times current. So; if you know voltage and current, power is voltage times current; if you know voltage and resistance, watts is voltage squared divided by resistance; and if you know current and resistance, watts is current squared times resistance.


What is the Relationship between power factor and current?

When voltage and current waveforms are out of synch the power factor is reduced. In a pure resistance load the PF is 1. When inductance and capacitance is involved the PF is from 0 to 1.


What is the current in a circuit that has a resistance of 30.0 and a power of 2.00 W?

0.258 A


Why does power decrease when resistance increases?

First, this statement stands as long as voltage is constant. If you held the current constant then power would increase as resistance increases.V=IR. For a fixed voltage if you increase the resistance (R) then the current (I) will decrease - following the formula.Power = VI so as the resistance increases the value of VI (power) decreases as V is constant and I gets smaller.Therefore the power is decreasing as the resistance increases (when voltage is held constant).Hope this helps.
