Explanation:
At maximum resistance the resistors should be connected in series whereas at minimum resistance the resistors should be connected in parallel.
Effective resistance when resistors are connected in :
1) Series = R1 + R2
2) parallel = 1/R1 + 1/R2
Power = V²/R
Series :
V = 3
R(E) = 12 + 12 = 24
P = 3²/24 = 0.375
Parallel :
1/12 + 1/12 = 2/12 = 1/6
R(E) = 6
P = 3²/6 = 1.5
Power at minimum resistance : maximum resistance.
1.5 : 0.375
= 4 : 1
