Respuesta :

Given voltage of the battery is,

[tex]V=15\text{ volt}[/tex]

The value of the resistance is,

[tex]R=3\text{ ohm}[/tex]

Thus, the power in terms of voltage and resistance is,

[tex]P=\frac{V^2}{R}[/tex]

Substituting the known values,

[tex]\begin{gathered} P=\frac{15^2}{3} \\ P=75\text{ W} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Thus, the power used by resistor is 75 W.

Hence, the d option is the correct answer.
