The power dissipated in 
resistance in the following circuit is
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
The given circuit can be redrawn as shown in figure.
Equivalent resistance of middle branch in the circuit,
Now, 
, and 
are in parallel, so equivalent resistance of the circuit is given by
Current drawn from battery, 
(Both branches have same resistance)
Current through 
resistance,
Power dissipated in 
resistance,
