Figure shows three resistor configurations R₁, R₂ and R₃ connected to 3 ~V battery. If the power dissipated by the configuration R₁, R₂ and R₃ is P₁, P₂ and P₃ , respectively, then
Options
- AP₁>P₂>P₃
- BP₁>P₃>P₂
- CP₂>P₁>P₃
- DP₃>P₂>P₁
Correct answer
C. P₂>P₁>P₃
Step-by-step solution
Applying P= V^2 R R₁=1 , R₂=0.5 and R₃=2 , V₁=V₂=V₃=3 volt P₁= (3)^2 1 =9 ~W P₂= (3)^2 0.5 =18 ~W and P₃= (3)^2 2 =4.5 ~W P₂>P₁>P₃ correct option is (c).
