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

We can use this also I think. Please correct me if I am wrong.

P=V2/R. We know that voltage will be same across all the branches i.e. 111.

Make the circuit simple first such away that all will be in parallel and now cdr only apply for parallel those which will be in series are not consider.

First r5 and r6 make series this make big resistance parallel with r4 so new resistance is r456 this is in series with in r3 so r3456 which is parallel with r2 now apply but omit r1.

Using KVL on three loops, your equations will be:

Equation 1: 11kI1-8kI2-111 = 0.

Equation 2: -8kI1+17kI2-7kI3 = 0.

Equation 3: -7kI2+14kI3 = 0.

Solving the equations will give.

I1 = 17.73mA, I2 = 10.5mA, I3 = 5.25mA.

Go back to circuit you will find that,

P2 = (I1-I2)^2*R2 = 417mW.

P4 = (I2-I3)^2*R4 = 193mW.

P6 = I3^2*R6 = 166mW.

Since the voltage drop is same in parallel circuits why can't we take.

P = V^2/R formula.

Can anybody please tell me what is total current in the circuit and the voltage drop at R2 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.

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

Jorge said:   1 decade ago
Hello if is possible I would like to see the answer procedure step by step of this exercise. Thank you.

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
