Question 24

Question 24

Multiple Choice

  A comparison of the power losses (P<sub>1</sub>, P<sub>2</sub>, or P<sub>3</sub>)  in the resistors of the circuit in the diagram shows that, if R<sub>1</sub> = R<sub>2</sub> = R<sub>3</sub>, A)  4P<sub>1</sub> = P<sub>2</sub> = P<sub>3 </sub> B)  P<sub>1</sub> = 2P<sub>2</sub> + 2P<sub>3 </sub> C)  P<sub>1</sub> = P<sub>2</sub> = P<sub>3 </sub> D)  P<sub>1</sub> = (1/2) P<sub>2</sub> = (1/2) P<sub>3 </sub> E)  P<sub>1</sub> = P<sub>2</sub> + P<sub>3 </sub> A comparison of the power losses (P1, P2, or P3) in the resistors of the circuit in the diagram shows that, if R1 = R2 = R3,


A) 4P1 = P2 = P3
B) P1 = 2P2 + 2P3
C) P1 = P2 = P3
D) P1 = (1/2) P2 = (1/2) P3
E) P1 = P2 + P3
