Question
Each resistor in the three circuits in the drawing has the same resistance R, and the batteries have the same voltage V. The values for R and V are 5 ? and 6.0 V, respectively. Determine the total power delivered by the battery in each of the three circuits.
Explanation / Answer
power = V^2 /R where R = equivalent Resistance
P 1 = 7.20 W
P2 = 14.4 W
P 3 = 3.60 W
