What is the power dissipated by R2, R4, and R6?

P2 = 417 mW, P4 = 193 mW, P6 = 166 mW
P2 = 407 mW, P4 = 183 mW, P6 = 156 mW
P2 = 397 mW, P4 = 173 mW, P6 = 146 mW
P2 = 387 mW, P4 = 163 mW, P6 = 136 mW

Can you give description anybody?

First determine the current as I1,I2 and I3.
I1=0.01778A
I2=0.01058A
I3=0.00529A
Now current across R2=0.0072A
" " " R4=0.00529A
" " " R6=0.00529A
By using the formula for power as P=I2R
We will get power across R2=414mW
"""""""""""""""""""""""""R4=196mW
"""""""""""""""""""""""""R6=168mW

So answer will be [A].

How to determine current in this circuit. Will any body explain ?

Priya said:   1 decade ago
In this we use mesh analysis method for current flowing. where have to find

I1=delta1/delta;
I2=delta2/delta;
I3=delta3/delta

Redraw the circuit to it's simplest series form by getting the total resistance and current for the entire circuit then work your way backwards by applying ohm's law to determined the other values.

Apply kvl to the loop and find current
Which is,

I1=0.01778
I2=0.01058
I3=0.00529

Now current across R2=0.0072
Now current across R4=0.00529
Now current across R6=0.00529

We Know that P=I2R
SO P across R2=(0.0072)2*R2
=(0.0072)2*8000
=417mW.

P across R4=193
P across R6=163

Hello if is possible I would like to see the answer procedure step by step of this exercise. Thank you.

2. What is the power dissipated by R2, R4, and R6?

Hi does anyone can tell me this example step by step?

By mesh analysis inspection method:

11 I1 - 8 I2 = 111 --> EQN 1.
-8 I1 + 17 I2 - 7 I3= 0 --> EQN 2.
-7 I2 + 14 I3 = 0 --> EQN 3.

BY RESOLVING THESE EQUATIONS WE GET,

I1 = 17.72 mA
I2 = 10.50 mA
I3 = 5.25 mA

Current through R2 is I1-I2 = 7.22 mA.

And by P = (I^2)R formula we can calculate power across the resistor R2

P = 7.22*7.22*10^-6*8*10^3 = 417 mW.
