Which of the following sets lists only correct expressions for the electric power PP dissipated in a single resistor carrying current II, potential difference VV, and resistance RR? (a) P=2VI,  P=I2R,  P=V2RP = 2VI,\; P = I^{2}R,\; P = \dfrac{V^{2}}{R} (b) P=VI,  P=12I2R,  P=V2RP = VI,\; P = \dfrac{1}{2}I^{2}R,\; P = \dfrac{V^{2}}{R} (c) P=VI,  P=I2R,  P=V2RP = VI,\; P = I^{2}R,\; P = \dfrac{V^{2}}{R} (d) P=VI,  P=I2R,  P=V22RP = VI,\; P = I^{2}R,\; P = \dfrac{V^{2}}{2R}
