A resistor R1 dissipates the power P when connected to a certain generator. If the resistor R2 is put in series with R1, the power dissipated by R1. Since in the second case the resistance (R1+R2) is higher than that in the first case (R1). Therefore power dissipation in the second case will be decreased .
