Question

Two resistor of resistance 10 ohm and 20 ohm are joined in parallel. A potential difference of 12 volt is applied across the combination. Find the power consumed by is resistor.

Answer 1

hey mate here is your answer

For this particular set of numbers, the easiest way to think of it is as follows:

12 volts is applied across three resistors, with a total resistance of 30 ohms. What is the total power consumed by them?

The answer is 144/30 (V^2/R) = 4.8 Watts.

So each 10 ohm resistor that total up to 30 ohms takes 1/3, or 1.6 watts each.

So the 10 ohm resistor takes up 1.6 watts.

And the 20 ohm resistor (two 10 ohm resistors joined together) takes up the remaining 3.2 watts.

may this answer will help you
