A space heater and a television are both designed to operate when connected across a standard household potential difference of \(120\text{ V}\). Under normal operating conditions, the space heater dissipates \(1200\text{ W}\) of electric power, while the television dissipates \(300\text{ W}\) of electric power. Assuming both appliances behave as ohmic resistors, what is the ratio of the internal resistance of the space heater to the internal resistance of the television, \(\dfrac{R_{\text{heater}}}{R_{\text{TV}}}\)?
