Three equal resistors connected in series across a source of e.m.f. together dissipate 10 watts of power. What would be power dissipated if the same resistors are connected in parallel across the same source of e.m.f.

a
9 watts
b
90 watts
c
10 watts
d
100 watts

detailed solution

Correct option is B

We know that P=V2/RWhen resistances are connected in series, then R = 3RWhen resistances are connected in parellel, thenR2=R/3∴ 10=V23R and P=V2(R/3)=3V2Ror P10=9 or P=90 watt
