The total power consumed in the circuit shown in the figure is—
-
- 10W
- 12W
- 16W
- 20W
- 10W
Correct Option: A
The given circuit:
Case 1: When current source is taken:
The net current in branch AB is 2A
Case 2: When voltage source is taken:
The net current in branch BC is 2/2 = 1A
Now, the total power consumed in the circuit:
= I2ABRAB + I2BC × RBC
= 22 × 2 + 12 × 2
= 10W.
