Find by what percent would the power dissipation be reduced

Reference no: EM13681962

Old style dimmers consisted of variable resistor so you could dial in more resistance to lower the current and hence dim the light. If the increased total resistance caused the current to be reduced by 50 percent then find by what percent would the power dissipation be reduced?
