Current Electricity Charging Discharging Of Capacitors Question 568

Question: If in the circuit, power dissipation is 150 W, then R is

[AIEEE 2002]

Options:

A) 2 W

B) 6 W

C) 5 W

D) 4 W

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

$ P=\frac{V^{2}}{R _{eq}}\Rightarrow 150=\frac{{{(15)}^{2}}}{[2R/(R+2)]}=\frac{225\times (R+2)}{2R} $

Therefore $ R=\frac{450}{75}=6\Omega $ .
