Two resistors R1 = 60 Omega and R2 = 9...

Two resistors `R_1 = 60 Omega and R_2 = 90Omega` are connected in parallel. If electric power consumed by the resistor `R_1` is 15 W, calculate the power consumed by the resistor `R_2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In parallel, voltage remains constant
`rArr P prop (1)/(R )`
`rArr (P_(1))/(P_(2))=(R_(2))/(R_(1))`
`rArr (15)/(P_(2))=(90)/(60)`
`rArr P_(2)=10W`
