A 100 ohm resistor carrying a current of 0.3 amperes would, by Ohm's Law, have a potential difference of 30 volts. A current of 0.3 amperes through a voltage of 30 volts would, by the Power Law, dissipate a power of 9 watts.

You need a 10 watt resistor, alhough it is better to use a 20 watt resistor.

E = IR

30 = (0.3)(100)

P = IE

9 = (30)(0.3)

Why is an electromagnet a resistor?

An electromagnet is not a resistor; they are two different components in an electrical circuit. An electromagnet uses electric current to create a magnetic field, while a resistor resists the flow of electric current, which causes a voltage drop across it.
