In the given figure, the emf of the cell is

Question:

In the given figure, the emf of the cell is $2.2 \mathrm{~V}$ and if internal resistance is $0.6 \Omega$. Calculate the power dissipated in the whole circuit :

 

  1. $1.32 \mathrm{~W}$

  2. $0.65 \mathrm{~W}$

  3. $2.2 \mathrm{~W}$

  4. $4.4 \mathrm{~W}$


Correct Option: , 3

Solution:

$\frac{1}{R_{e q}}=\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{12}+\frac{1}{6}=\frac{6+3+2+4}{24}=\frac{15}{24}$

$\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{eq}}=\frac{24}{15}=1.6 \Rightarrow \mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{T}}=1.6+0.6=2.2 \Omega$

$\mathrm{P}=\frac{\mathrm{V}^{2}}{\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{T}}}=\frac{(2.2)^{2}}{2.2}=2.2 \mathrm{~W}$

Option (3)
