Find the potential difference across each cell and the rate of energy dissipation in R?
Applying Kirchhoff's rule for loop ABCDA,
...(i)
For loop DEFAD
...(ii)
Eqs. (i) and (ii) can be written as
and
On solving the above equatuions, we get
Putting the value I2 in equation (i)
Current in R,
Rate of energy dissipation = 2R
