Formulas & Step-by-Step

Resistance

R = V ÷ I

100 ÷ 124.42 = 0.8037 Ω

Power

P = V × I

100 × 124.42 = 12,442 W

Verification (alternative formulas)

P = I² × R

124.42² × 0.8037 = 15,480.34 × 0.8037 = 12,442 W ✓

P = V² ÷ R

100² ÷ 0.8037 = 10,000 ÷ 0.8037 = 12,442 W ✓

Circuit Analysis

Heat Dissipation

This circuit dissipates 12,442 watts of power as heat. In a resistor, all electrical energy at steady state converts to thermal energy. The actual component power rating needs headroom above this steady-state figure, but the specific derating depends on resistor type (carbon-comp, metal-film, wirewound each behave differently), ambient temperature, airflow or heat-sinking, and whether the load is continuous or pulsed. Check the resistor datasheet for the manufacturer-specific derating curve rather than applying a blanket margin.
