Since voltage difference is proportional to the power and power to the energy, we expect an increase in the dissipated energy. For calculation we follow the same procedure, as in the Example:
We calculate the power:
$$
P=frac{V^{2}}{R} =frac{(15 mathrm{~V})^{2}}{570 Omega}
$$
that gives:
$$
P = 0.395 mathrm{W}
$$
And to have dissipated energy in 65 s, we have:
$$
Delta E=P Delta t
$$
$$
Delta E=0.395 mathrm{W} cdot 65 mathrm{s}
$$
$$
boxed{color{#c34632}Delta E=25.86 mathrm{J}}
$$
Delta E=25.86 mathrm{J}
$$
$$
P = UI
$$
We know both pieces of information from the problem, we just take into account that current is given in mA, and we should use A. So, we put in the numbers:
$$
P = 4.1 mathrm{V} cdot 22 times 10^{-3} mathrm{A}
$$
which gives the result of:
$$
boxed{color{#c34632}P = 0.0902 mathrm{W}}
$$
P = 0.0902 mathrm{W}
$$
We use the following relation for the power in the electric circuit:
$$
R=frac{V^{2}}{P}
$$
Putting in the numbers we have:
$$
R=frac{{(120 mathrm{V}})^{2}}{120 mathrm{W}}
$$
The square in numerator and number in denominator do cancel out, so the result is:
$$
boxed{color{#c34632}R= 120 mathrm{Omega}}
$$
R= 120 mathrm{Omega}
$$
