Answer» Correct Answer - C (c ) The resistance of `6 Omega` and `3 Omega` are in parallel in the given circuit, their equivalent resistance is `(1)/(R_(1)) = (1)/(6) + (1)/(3) = (1 + 2)/(6) = (1)/(2)` or `R_(1) = 2 Omega` Again, `R_(1)` is in series with `4 Omega` resistance, hence ltbgt `R = R_(1) + 4 = 2 + 4 = 6 Omega` Thus, the total power dissipatesin the circuit `P = (V^(2))/(R )` Here, `V = 18 V, R = 6 Omega` Thus, `P = ((18)^(2))/(6) = 54 W` |
