What this sample is
An independently authored Electrical & Computer question with a complete setup and solution. Use it to evaluate your model selection, handbook path, unit handling, and answer check.
FE Electrical and Computer questions reward clean separation of circuit, signal, power, control, and computing models. Practice identifying the domain first, then use the handbook to verify equations and conventions.
Choose an answer before reviewing the solution. Pay attention to the governing model and setup, not only the final choice.
A 120 V rms source is connected across a 30 ohm resistor. The average power absorbed by the resistor is most nearly:

It is not an NCEES question and does not come from any NCEES practice exam. For NCEES practice products and current exam policies, use the NCEES exam-prep catalog.
Practice creates useful evidence only when the review explains why the setup worked or failed. Use this three-part loop after every question.
Decide whether the problem is a circuit, signal, power, controls, digital, or computing question before calculating.
Write polarity, current direction, RMS or peak convention, and phase reference before using a formula.
Check DC, high-frequency, zero-input, or steady-state behavior when the result is uncertain.
