What Is the Resistance and Power for 24V and 93.08A?
24 volts and 93.08 amps gives 0.2578 ohms resistance and 2,233.92 watts power. Ohm's Law (V = IR) and the power equation (P = VI) connect all four electrical values. Knowing any two lets you calculate the other two instantly.

Circuit Analysis
Heat Dissipation
This circuit dissipates 2,233.92 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.
