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

A

1 watt

B

5 watt

C

4 watt

D

2 watt

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:

B

Voltage across all three branches are same, i.e.,

`3xx2=ixx(5+1)`
`i=1A`
Power dissipated in `5Omega`
`P=i^(2)R`
`=(1)^(2)xx5="5 watt"`
