A certain network consists of two ideal voltage sources and a large number of ideal resistors. The power consumed in one of the resistor is 4 W when either of the two sources is active and the other is replaced by a short circuit. The power consumed by the same resistor when both the sources are simultaneously active would be
-
- zero or 16 W
- 4 W or 8 W
- zero or 8 W
- 8 W or 16 W
- zero or 16 W
Correct Option: C
The power consumed by the same resistor will be either 4 – 4 = 0 W; or 4 + 4 = 8 W.
