    Compare the power used in the 2 resistor in each of the following circuits : (i) a 6 V battery in series with 1 and 2 resistors, and (ii) a 4 V battery in parallel with  12 and 2 resistors.

    Answer:

    (i)         Since 6 V battery is in series with 1 and 2 resistors, current in the circuit,             I =               Power used in 2 resistor, P1 = I2R = (2A)2 × 2 = 8W (ii)        Since 4 V battery is in parallel with 12 and 2 resistors, pd across 2 resistor, V = 4V.             Power used in 2 resistor, P2 =              Clearly,
