Question 20N.1.HL.TZ0.34

Power $P$ is dissipated in a resistor of resistance $R$ when there is a direct current $I$ in the resistor.

What is the average power dissipation in a resistance $\frac{R}{2}$ when the alternating root-mean-square (rms) current in the resistor is $2I$?

A.  $P$

B.  $2P$

C.  $4P$

D.  $8P$
