    A resistor of resistance R is connected to a fully charged cell of negligible internal resistance. A constant power P is dissipated in the resistor. An identical cell is connected in series with two identical resistors each of resistance R.

    What is the power dissipated in each resistor?

    PP

    P2\frac{P}{2}

    P4\frac{P}{4}

    P8\frac{P}{8}
