The resistances are connecting in parallel. so
1/R=1/1+1/2+1/3=11/6
Or R=6/11
Power=V.V/R=48.48.11/6
P=4.22w

In the given circuit eq resistance=R1//R2//R3 = 6/11k
now total current flowing in the circuit isi=v/r=48/(6/11)*1000

=0.088A

Now power loss p=i*iR=4.2w

In the given Ckt. Eq. resistance of the circuit Req. = R1||R2||R3
1/R = 1/1K+1/2K+1/3K = 11/6 K
So R = 6/11 K

Hence Total Power P = V.V/R = (48*48)11/6K
= 4.224 mA

p1=v^2/r=2.304 w
p2=1.152 w
p3=0.768 w
pt=4.224 w

Equivalent resistance of the circuit R = R1||R2||R3
R = 1K||2K||3K = 6/11 K

Power P = V2/R = (48*18*11)/6K = 4.224 mA
