Question 1104596: If a resistor can dissipate 60 watts of power when the circuit voltage is 120 volts, how much power can it dissipate when the voltage of the circuit is tripled? Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If the resistor is capable of dissipating 60 watts, it can dissipate 60 watts.
---------------
If you mean to ask how much power is dissipated:
P = E^2/R
