Answer:

Current in resistors = 1.5 amp

Current in resistors = 0.18 amp

P = 93.75 watts

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

1. Three 5 ohm resistor(series)

Voltage = 10 volt

2. Three 5 ohm resistor(parallel)

Voltage = 9 volt

3. Three 5 ohm resistor(series)

Voltage = 6 volt

Find:

Current in resistors

Current in resistors

Total power of circuit

Computation:

1. Total resistor (Series) R = R1 + R2 + R3

Total resistor (Series) R = 5 + 5 + 5

Total resistor (Series) R = 15 ohm

I = V/R

Current in resistors = (15)/(10)

Current in resistors = 1.5 amp

2. Total resistor (Series) R = 1/[1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3

Total resistor (Series) R = 1[1/5 + 1/5 + 1/5]

Total resistor (Series) R = 1.67 ohm

I = V/R

Current in resistors = (1.67)/(9)

Current in resistors = 0.18 amp

3. Total resistor (Series) R = R1 + R2 + R3

Total resistor (Series) R = 5 + 5 + 5

Total resistor (Series) R = 15 ohm

I = V/R

I = (15)/(6)

I = 2.5 amp

P = I²(R)

P = (2.5)²(15)

P = 93.75 watts
