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

    A)  8 V              

    B)  10 V

    C)  2 V               

    D)  4 V

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

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