Unfortunately, however, the lamp can burn out and leave pump unprotected. You have been asked to install a hearth that will not burn out and leave the pump unprotected. You have available a 100-watt, 150-ohm wire-wound resistor. Can this resistor be connected to the 120-volt source without damage to the resistor? If so, what would be the power output of the resistor? (Hint: Use power formula)arrow_forward
