Question 10

An electric heater inside a submarine's life-support chamber dissipates 120 W of thermal power when operated from a 12.0 V auxiliary battery.

Due to system modifications, the power supply voltage is reduced to 6.0 V. The heating element is replaced so that the chamber continues to receive 120 W of heating power from the new supply.

What is the percentage decrease in the resistance of the heating element?
