A current of `3 A` flows through the `2 Omega` resistor as shown in the circuit. The power dissipated in the `5 Omega` resistor is

A

1 Watt

B

5Watt

C

4 Watt

D

2Watt

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`I = 6/(1+5) = 1A`
Power consumed in `5 Omega`
`P = i^(2)xx5=i^(2)xx5=5W`.
