Consider the circuit shown below. What is the power delivered by the 24V source?
-
- 96W
- 144W
- 192W
- 288W
- 96W
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 = | = | = | = 12A | |||
Req | 3|| 6 | 2 |
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.
