A current  of 3 A flows through the 2 Ω resistor shown in the circuit. The power dissiated in the 5 Ω resistor is 

diagram

  • 4 W

  • 2 W

  • 1 W

  • 5 W

Solution

D.

5 W

Voltage across 2 Ω is same as voltage across arm containing 1 Ω and 5 Ω resistance. 
Voltage across 2 Ω resistance, 
V = 2 x 3 = 6 V
So, voltage across lowest arm,
V1 = 6 V
Current across 5 Ω, I = 6/ 1+6 = 1 A
Thus, power across 5 Ω,
P = I2R = (1)2 x 5 = 5 W

Question

A current 2 A flows through a 2 Ω resistor when connected across a battery. The same battery supplies a current of 0.5 A when connected across a 9 Ω resistor. The internal resistance of the battery is 

  • 1/3 Ω

  • 1/4 Ω

  • 1 Ω

  • 0.5 Ω

Solution

A.

1/3 Ω
