Question

in the circuit the resistors have identical resistance if the power converted in R1 is P what is the power converted in R2

Answer 1

Given that,

The resistors have identical resistance.

If the power converted in R₁ is P

We know that,

Power :

Power is equal to the square of voltage divided by resistance.

In mathematically,

$P=\dfrac{V^2}{R}$

Where, V = voltage

R = resistor

Or,

Power :

Power is equal to the square of current multiply by Resistance.

In mathematically,

$P=I^2R$

Where, I = Current

R = resistor

According to given data,

The resistors have identical resistance.

$R_{1}=R_{2}=R$

Both resistance is same.

So, The power converted in R₂ will be P.

Hence, The power converted in R₂ will be P.
