Power Dissipation in a Circuit
A circuit is constructed with a battery having an electromotive force (emf) of 6.0 V and an internal resistance of 0.40 Ω. The battery is connected to a 3.0 Ω resistor by wires with a total resistance of 0.10 Ω. What percentage of the total power generated by the battery is dissipated by the connecting wires?
A
1.7%
B
5.2%
