Numerical answer type. Work it out, then open the answer.

Show answer and solution

Answer: 3

  1. The left side of the square is one node and the right side the other.
  2. Top 2 Ω2\ \Omega, bottom 2 Ω2\ \Omega and the two diagonals (together 2 Ω2\ \Omega) are in parallel: R=2/3 ΩR = 2/3\ \Omega.
  3. I=22/3+2/3=1.5 AI = \dfrac{2}{2/3 + 2/3} = 1.5\text{ A}.
  4. Total power P=EI=2×1.5=3 WP = EI = 2 \times 1.5 = 3\text{ W}.
