In the figure shown above, a cell of negligible internal resistance and emf 22 V is connected to a network of resistors. If the power dissipated in the whole circuit is \(\dfrac{x}{10 R}\), then the value of \(x\) is:

  1. A 1452
  2. B 454
  3. C 1245
  4. D 1542

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 1452

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The diamond network forms a Wheatstone bridge. Left arm ratio: \(\dfrac{4R}{8R} = \dfrac{1}{2}\), Right arm ratio: \(\dfrac{2R}{4R} = \dfrac{1}{2}\). Since ratios are equal, the bridge is balanced — no current flows through the horizontal branch (\(R + R = 2R\)), so it is…
