The power dissipated in the 6 ohms resistor is determined as 24 W and the power dissipated in the 3 ohms resistor is determined as 48 W.
Power dissipated in the resistors
The power dissipated in the resistors is calculated as follows;
P = IV
where;
- I is current
- V is voltage = 12 V
From Ohm's law, V = IR, ⇒ I = V/R
P = V²/R
where;
- R is resistance of the circuit
Power dissipated in 6 ohms
P = (12)²/6
P = 24 W
Power dissipated in 3 ohms
P = (12)²/3
P = 48 W
