Example:
Consider an 8 W resistor. What is its conductance?
Short Circuit and Open Circuit
Wire (“short circuit”):
• R = 0 no voltage difference exists
(all points on the wire are at the same potential)
• Current can flow, as determined by the circuit

Example: Power Absorbed by a Resistor
p = vi = ( iR )i = i2R
p = vi = v ( v/R ) = v2/R
Example:
a) Calculate the voltage
vg and current ia.
b) Determine the power
dissipated in the 80W
resistor
Voltage Dividers
Resistors in series share the same current
