Hello /sci/, I got a bit of a circuits problem blowing my mind...

According to how joule heating is described, the temperature of an element in a circuit is dependent on the current flowing through it.
It would seem that 12v 2a is the same temperature as 6v 2a.

However, according to power dissipation, the amount of heat dissipated is P=IV. Which would imply the 12v 2a.

How is this possible?
