The 10 ΩΩ resistor in (Figure 1) is dissipating 50 WW of power. Figure1 of 1A part of a circuit is shown in the figure. A 5.0- ohm resistor is in series with the combination of two parallel resistors of 10-ohm and 20-ohm resistances, respectively. Current I flows through a 5.0-ohm resistor toward the combination of two parallel resistors. |
