Question 39

A deep-sea oceanographic sensor is tethered to a marine research buoy. Due to cable transmission losses, the potential difference across the sensor's internal heating element is 36 V. The heating element dissipates energy at a constant rate of 5.4 W to prevent the internal electronics from freezing.

Calculate the electrical resistance of this heating element.
