Calculate the power across each 20 ohm resistance.(a) 1000W, 1000W(b) 500W, 500W(c) 1000kW, 1000kW(d) 500kW, 500kWI have been asked this question in quiz.My question is based upon Power in section Simple DC Networks of Basic Electrical Engineering

Answer»

Correct choice is (B) 500W, 500W

The explanation is: This is a SERIES connected circuit HENCE the current across each resistance is the same. To FIND current: I=V/R=200/20=5A.

To find power: P=I^2R=5^2*20=500W. Since both the RESISTORS have a resistance of 20 ohms, the power across both is the same.
