KVPY2011PhysicsCurrent Electricity
In the circuit shown below the resistance are given in ohms and the battery is assumed ideal with emf equal to 3.0 volts. The resistor that dissipates the most power is -
Options
- AR ₁
- BR ₂
- CR ₃
- DR ₄
Correct answer
A. R ₁
Step-by-step solution
Power dissipate in R ₁ is maximum as its current is maximum and its resistance is also 40 which is higher than R ₅ R ₄ .
