Question: Two resistors of $ 6,\Omega $ and $ 9\Omega $ are connected in series to a 120 volt source. The power consumed by the $ 6,\Omega $ resistor is

[SCRA 1994]

Options:

A) 384 W

B) 576 W

C) 1500 W

D) 1200 W

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

Current through the combination $ i=\frac{120}{(6+9)}=8,A $ So, power consumed by 6 W resistance $ P={{(8)}^{2}}\times 6=384W $
