The electric powr consumed by a device may be calculate by using either of the two expression `P=I^2R` or `P=V^2/R`. The first expression indicates that it is directly proprotinal to R whereas the second expression indicates inverse proportiionality. How can the seemingly difference dependece of P on R in these expression be explained?
