Question: A resistor with R 1 = 25.0 is connected to a battery that has negligible internal resistance and electrical energy is dissipated R 1

A resistor with R1 = 25.0 Ω is connected to a battery that has negligible internal resistance and electrical energy is dissipated Rby at a rate of 36.0 W. If a second resistor with R2 = 15.0 Ω is connected in series with R1, what is the total rate at which electri-cal energy is dissipated by the two resistors?
