It's hard for me to really understand the question I was given, so I'm sorry if it is hard to understand the topic line.
The question is:
What resistance must be connected in series with a 100 Ohm resistor for the 100 Ohm resistor to heat at a rate of 30W when the combination is connected to a 120V source?
It's for an assignment, I'd appreciate any help with this with as much detail in the answer as possible. I tried looking throughout my textbook through everything we covered this far and didn't get an answer that made sense. I think the wording is throwing me more than anything. Thanks for anything you can contribute.
