For the circuit shown below, the power absorbed by the 4Ω resistor is—
-
- 2500W
- 2578W
- 156·25W
- None of these
- 2500W
Correct Option: D
The given circuit:
Applying KCL at node A, we get
+ | + | = 0 | |||
2 | 3 | 4 |
VA | ![]() | + | + | ![]() | = - | + | + | ||||||
2 | 3 | 4 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
or
VA | ![]() | + | ![]() | = | ||
12 | 12 |
or
I4Ω = | = | ||
4 | 4 |
= 30A
Power absorbed by 4Ω resistor = I24Ω R = 302 × 4 = 3600W
Hence alternative (D) is the correct choice.
