The resistance of each of the three wire...

The resistance of each of the three wires, The combination of resistors is connected to a source of emf `epsilon`. The ammeter shows a reading of `1A`. Calculate the power dissipated in the circuit

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`6 W`
Total resistance of the circuit
`R = (4 xx 4)/(4 + 4) + 4 = 6 Omega`
current of the circuit `l = 1A`
power dissipated in the circuit
`P = l^(2) R = (1)^(2) xx 6 = 6 W`
