Resistor 1 (R1) has twice the resistance of R2. The two are connected in parallel and a potential difference is maintained across the combination. The power dissipation in R1 is: a)the same as that in R2 b)twice that in R2 c)half that in R2 d)four times that in R2
Ohm's law
Ohm’s law is a prominent concept in physics and electronics. It gives the relation between the current and the voltage. It is used to analyze and construct electrical circuits. Ohm's law states that the voltage across a conductor is directly proportional to the current flowing through it.
Path of Least Resistance
In a series of alternate pathways, the direction of least resistance is the actual or metaphorical route that offers the least resistance to forwarding motion by a given individual or body.
Resistor 1 (R1) has twice the resistance of R2. The two are connected in parallel and a potential difference is maintained across the combination. The power dissipation in R1 is:
