Electrical Power & Heating Effect

If in the circuit, power dissipation is 150 W,150\text{ W}, then RR is

Figure

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. RR and 2 Ω2\ \Omega are in parallel across 15 V.
  2. P=225R+2252=150⇒225R=37.5P = \dfrac{225}{R} + \dfrac{225}{2} = 150 \Rightarrow \dfrac{225}{R} = 37.5.
  3. R=6 ΩR = 6\ \Omega, so the answer is (b) 6 Ω6\ \Omega.
