Current Electricity

  1. The power dissipated in the circuit shown in the figure is 30 Watts. The value of R is: 
    1. 20 Ω ​
    2. 15 Ω ​
    3. ​10 Ω ​
    4. 30 Ω
Correct Option: C

The power dissipated in the circuit.

P =
...(i)
Req

1=1 + 1= 5 + R
ReqR55R

Req = 5R
5 + R

P = 30 W ​
Substituting the values in equation (i)

15R
= 10
5 + R

15R = 50 + 10R ​
5R = 50 ​
R = 10 Ω
