Formulas & Step-by-Step

Resistance

R = V ÷ I

100 ÷ 13.79 = 7.25 Ω

Power

P = V × I

100 × 13.79 = 1,379 W

Verification (alternative formulas)

P = I² × R

13.79² × 7.25 = 190.16 × 7.25 = 1,379 W ✓

P = V² ÷ R

100² ÷ 7.25 = 10,000 ÷ 7.25 = 1,379 W ✓

Circuit Analysis

Heat Dissipation

This circuit dissipates 1,379 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the resistance for 100V and 13.79A?expand_more

R = V ÷ I = 100 ÷ 13.79 = 7.25 ohms.

What happens if I halve the resistance?expand_more

At the same 100V, current doubles to 27.58A and power quadruples to 2,758W. Lower resistance means more current, which means more power dissipated as heat.

How much heat does 7.25 ohms produce at 100V?expand_more

All 1,379W is dissipated as heat in a pure resistor at steady state. The 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.
