Direction: 20 to Q. 25. For the circuit shown below—

The power delivered by 8A current source—

1. 208W
2. 240W
3. – 208W
4. None of these

Correct Option: A

From above figure:
Voltage across terminals A and C is 30 – 4 = 26V; since terminal A is positive, therefore power delivered by the 8A current source is positive
P_delivered = VI = 26 × 8 = 208W.
