Answer:
Given that 2 resistors of 10 ohm and 20 ohm are connected in series.
Total resistance (R) = R₁+R₂ = 10+20 = 30Ω
Potential difference (V) = 12v
Power consumed (P) = ?
From ohms law, V = iR
i = V/R ----- 1
We know that, P = iV
From 1,
P = V²/R
Placing the given values in the formula P = 12 x 12 / 30
. P = 4.8 w
Therefore, Power consumed = 4.8 watts .
