PARALLEL CONNECTION:-

R eq =
[(2 X 1) (10^3 X 10^3)]/[(2+1) 10^3]

2/3 10^3 OHMS..........

P= I * I * R eq

(3*3*2/3)(10^-3)(10^-3)(10^3)

6mw ans

p=vi
p1=?
p2=?
pt=?
p1=????
vt=ir
rt=666.666 ohm
vt=2 volt
p1=2m w
p2=4mw
pt=p1+p2=6 m w

P=I^2(R)

R= 2K PARELLEL TO 1K OHM

= 2/3 K OHM

P= 3mA * 3mA * 2/3 * 10^3

= 6mW

SO I CONCLUDE THAT OPTION 'C' IS CORRECT

I agree with ramprabhu answer.

Opion "A" is correct.

P=I^2(R)
R=>2K AND 1K IN PARALLEL
HENCE EQUALENT R VALUE IS (2/3)
P=(3m)^2(2/3)
=>(9u)(2/3)
=>6uw
SO I CONCLUDE HERE OPTION A IS CORRECT

Here r=2000/3
& i^2=(3*10^-3)^2=9*10^-6
we know P=i^2*r=6*10^-3=6mW

The formula for resistor when 2 resistors are connected in parallel is 1/R=1/R1+1/R2.

WKT,
P=I2*R
where Rp=R1R2/R1+R2
Rp=(2*1)/(2+1)
Rp=2/3k ohm
P=(3m)^2*(2/3)k
P=6mW

We know that,
P=v*i
v=i*R
so P=i2*R
1/R=(1/2)+(1/1)
R=2/3kohm=(2*10^3)/3ohm
and i=3mA=3*10^-3A
p=(3*10^-3)^2*(2*?10^3/3)
P=6*10^-3W
P=6mW
