  1. For the circuit shown below, the power absorbed by the 4Ω resistor is—


    1. 2500W
    2. 2578W
    3. 156·25W
    4. None of these
Correct Option: D

The given circuit:

Applying KCL at node A, we get

VA + 80
+
VA – 40
+
VA – 100
= 0
234

VA

= -

or
VA
6 + 4 + 3
+ =
- 80 × 6 × + 40 ×4 +100 ×3
1212

or
I4Ω =
100 + 20
=
120

= 30A
Power absorbed by 4Ω resistor = I24Ω R = 302 × 4 = 3600W
Hence alternative (D) is the correct choice.
