With three resistances connected in parallel, if each dissipates 20 W the total power supplied by the voltage source equals?

2 Answers

Answer :

 With three resistances connected in parallel, if each dissipates 20 W the total power supplied by the voltage source equals 60 W.

Answer :

Power is the only thing which is additive in both connection whether it is parallel or series connection so total power consumed will addition of all individual power =20+20+20 = 60 watt
