Question A-003-002-004

The formula to be used to calculate the power output of a transmitter into a resistor load using a voltmeter is:

Correct Answer

P = (E exponent 2) /R

Explanation

Power (P) dissipated in a resistor (R) is given by P = E^2 / R, where E is the RMS voltage across the resistor. If peak voltage is measured, it must be converted to RMS.
