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

5 watt

C

4 watt

D

2 watt

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
2

Current throught `5Omega=(6)/(1+5)=1A`
Power dissipated in `5Omega= I^(2)R=(1)^(2)5=5W`
