WHY NOT THE CORRECT ANSWER IS OPTION D??????

SINCE, P=VI, V=IR

THEREFORE, P=(IR)*I => P=(I^2)R

Power is inversely proportional to resistance. So less value of resistance has great power loss.

i=v/r if value of r is small,i will be more..........

p=i^2r therefore the loss will be more

According to ohm's, the greater, the resistance, the least power loss and vice versa.

Please explain power and what's the difference between power and voltage here ?

More current will pass through the lowest resistor and we know that p = i^2*r.

Ravikumar said:   1 decade ago
Considering the ohms law p=v^2/R so, if are is low power loss is more.

Sravanthi said:   1 decade ago
Obviously more current flows through less resistance. Power= (i^2) R.

What is the difference between power loss and power?

Neha Paunikar said:   1 decade ago
Since power is inversely proportional to current I.
