In the circuit shown below the resistance are given in ohms and the battery is assumed ideal with emf equal to 3.0 volts. The resistor that dissipates the most power is -

A

`R_(1)`

B

`R_(2)`

C

`R_(3)`

D

`R_(4)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Power dissipate in `R_(1)` is maximum as its current is maximum and its resistance is also `40 Omega` which is higher than `R_(5)` and `R_(4)`
