Three identical resistors, each of resistance R, when connected in series with a d.c. source, dissipate power X. If the resistors are connected in parallel to the same d.c. source, how much power will be dissipated ?
Text Solution
AI Generated Solution
To solve the problem, we need to find the power dissipated when three identical resistors, each of resistance \( R \), are connected in parallel to a d.c. source after knowing the power dissipated when they are connected in series.
### Step-by-Step Solution:
1. **Understanding the Series Connection:**
- When three resistors \( R \) are connected in series, the total resistance \( R_s \) is given by:
\[
R_s = R + R + R = 3R
