Solve the problem.A simple electrical circuit consists of a resistor connected between the terminals of a battery. The voltage V (in volts) is dropping as the battery wears out. At the same time, the resistance R (in ohms) is increasing as the resistor heats up. The power P (in watts) dissipated by the circuit is given by P =  . Use the equation =   +
