Question

In the circuit in the figure, V1 is 43.00 V, V2 is 47.80 V, R1 is 35.0 ?, R2 is 90.0 ?, and R3 is 59.0 ?. Both batteries are ideal. What is the rate at which energy is dissipated in R1? What is the rate at which energy is dissipated in R2? What is the rate at which energy is dissipated in R3? What power is emitted by battery 1? What power is emitted by battery 2?

Explanation / Answer

Applying KCL analysis

I1+I2+I3=0

V-V1/R1+V/R2 +V-V2/R3 =0

V(1/R1 +1/R2+1/R3) =V1/R1 +V2/R3

V(1/35 +1/90 +1/59) =43/35 +47.8/59

0.0566V =2.087

V=36V

I1 =36-43 /35 =-0.2A

I2=36/90 =0.4A

I3 =36-47.8/59 =-0.2A

energy is dissipated in R1

PR1 =I12R1 =(-0.2)2*35 =1.4W

energy is dissipated in R2

PR2 =I22R2 =0.42*90 =14.4W

energy is dissipated in R3

PR3 =I32R3 =0.22*59 =2.36W

Power emitted by battery 1

P=VI =43*0.2 =8.6W

power emitted by battery 2

P=47.8*0.2=9.56
