Question 761004
The maximum number of volts, E, that can be placed across a resistor is given E= sq. rt. PR, where P is the number of watts of power that the resistor can absorb and R is the resistance of the resistor in ohms. Find E if P = 1/2 watts and R = 5000 ohms.
----------------
{{{E = sqrt(P*R) = sqrt(0.5*5000)}}}
E = 50 volts

That's the step, just doing it.
