Problem

Two resistors are each connected to a 12 V12\,\text{V} supply. Resistor A draws 0.5 A0.5\,\text{A} while Resistor B draws 0.8 A0.8\,\text{A}. Which statement about their power consumption is correct? (a) Resistor A consumes more power than Resistor B. (b) Both resistors consume the same power. (c) Resistor B consumes more power than Resistor A. (d) Power cannot be compared without knowing their resistances.
