Four \(4 \Omega\) resistors are connected together along the edges of a square. A \(12 \mathrm{~V}\) battery with internal resistance of \(2 \Omega\) is connected across a pair of the diagonally opposite corners of the square. The power dissipated in the circuit is

  1. A \(36 \mathrm{~W}\)
  2. B \(192 \mathrm{~W}\)
  3. C \(24 \mathrm{~W}\)
  4. D \(48 \mathrm{~W}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(36 \mathrm{~W}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to the question, the circuit diagram is as shown below Power dissipated in circuit, \(P=\frac{E^2}{R_{\text {eff }}}\) ...(i) The given circuit is a balanced Wheatstone bridge. So, its equivalent resistance is given by…
