Answer to Question #328332 in Electrical Engineering for Elle

Question

1. Two heating units A and B are connected in parallel across 120 volts supply. Unit B takes twice as much power as A and the total power is 2160 watts. Determine the resistance of A and B in ohms. 

Answer 1

$$P=\frac{V^2}{R}$$

$$R=\frac{V^2}{P}=\frac{120^2}{2160}=6.67\:\Omega$$
