Figure shows three resistor configurations R1,R2 and R3 connected to 3 V battery .

If the powers dissipated by the configuration R1,R2 and R3 are P1,P2 and P3, respectively, then

A

`P1gtP2gtP 3`

B

` P 1gtP 3gtP2 `

C

`P 2gtP1gtP 3`

D

`P3gtP 2gtP1`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
3
The given three circuits are equivalent to the following simpler circuits.

`therefore P1=(3^(2))/(1)=9W rArr P2=(3^(2))/((1//2))=18W`
`P3=(3^(2))/(2)=4.5W` Hence `P2gtP1gtP3`
