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

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.

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

MeghA said:   1 decade ago
Since the voltage drop is same in parallel circuits why can't we take.

P = V^2/R formula.

Please explain this clearly.

Mahesh Reddy said:   1 decade ago
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.

Can somebody explain this step by step with units? So hard to understand this. Sorry guys. With total current, voltage drops, current and power for each resistors.

Kim said:   10 years ago
Guys can somebody explain this step by step like finding required, voltage drops, currents of each resistors and also the power of each things.

Please solve this circuit by using ohm's law.
