Solution

(a) The potential difference (p.d.) across the winding can be calculated using Ohm's law, which states that the voltage (V) is equal to the current (I) times the resistance (R). In this case, V = I * R = 5 A * 100 Ω = 500 V.

(b) The power (P) dissipated by the coil can be calculated using the formula P = V * I. Substituting the values we have, P = 500 V * 5 A = 2500 W.
