B1, B2, and B3 are three identical bulbs connected as shown in Figure 12.8. When all the three bulbs glow, a current of 3A is recorded by ammeter A. How much power is dissipated in the circuit when all the three bulbs glow together?

Solution:

Evaluating the value, R= V/I = 4.5V/3A= 1.5Ω

As we know that, substituting the value of parameters in P= I2R, we get

= (3A)x 1.5 Ω

= 13.5 W
