Calculate the power across each 10 ohm resistance.(a) 1000kW, 1000kW(b) 1kW, 1kW(c) 100W, 100W(d) 100kW, 100kWI got this question during an interview.Origin of the question is Power topic in chapter Simple DC Networks of Basic Electrical Engineering

Answer»

The correct choice is (b) 1kW, 1kW

Explanation: This is PARALLEL connected circuit, HENCE the VOLTAGE across each of the RESISTORS is the same. P =(V^2)/R=(100^2)/10 = 1000W=1kW. Since both the resistors receive the same AMOUNT of voltage, the power in both is the same.
