    If power dissipated in the \[9\,\Omega \] resistor in the circuit shown is 36 W, the potential difference across the \[2\,\Omega \] resistor is

    A)  8 V                        

    B)  10 V                     

    C)  2V                         

    D)  4 V              

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Electric power, \[p={{i}^{2}}R\] \[\therefore \]Current,\[i=\sqrt{\frac{p}{R}}\]For resistance of \[9\,\Omega \]                 \[{{i}_{1}}=\sqrt{\frac{36}{9}}=\sqrt{4}=2A\]                 \[{{i}_{2}}=\frac{{{i}_{1}}\times R}{6}=\frac{2\times 9}{6}=3A\]                 \[i={{i}_{1}}+{{i}_{2}}=2+3=5A\] \[{{V}_{2}}=I{{R}_{2}}=5\times 2=10V\]
