  1. Consider the circuit shown below. What is the power delivered by the 24V source?


    1. 96W
    2. 144W
    3. 192W
    4. 288W
Correct Option: D

The given circuit:

From figure we conclude that the magnitude of current dependent source is 2 times that of 6Ω branch. It means resistance of dependent sources is half of the 6Ω, i.e., 3Ω

I =
V
=
24
=
24
= 12A
Req3|| 62

Now, the power delivered by 24V source

= VI = 24 × 12 = 288W.
Alternative Method:
From figure, I = IR + 2IR = 3IR
Applying KVL in the input loop
24 = 6IR
or
IR = 4A
and
I = 3IR = 3 × 4 = 12A
Now, power delivered by 24V source is:
VI = 24 × 12 = 288W.
