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:
B
`V = 2 xx 3 = 6 V`
`V_(S) = 5/6 xx 6 = 5 V`

Power `=5^(2)/5 = 5 W`
