Answer:
0.05 W
Explanation:
The power dissipated by a device can be written as
[tex]P=VI[/tex]
where
P is the power dissipated
V is the voltage drop on the device
I is the current flowing through the device
In this problem, we have
V = 5.0 V is the voltage drop across the device
I = 10.0 mA = 0.01 A is the current through it
By applying the formula, we find the power dissipated:
[tex]P=(5.0 V)(0.01 A)=0.05 W[/tex]
