A $3.0 - \Omega$ Resistor Is Connected in Parallel with A $6.0 - \Omega$

question 101

Multiple Choice

A $3.0 - \Omega$ resistor is connected in parallel with a $6.0 - \Omega$ resistor. This combination is then connected in series with a $4.0 - \Omega$ resistor. The resistors are connected across an ideal 12-volt battery. How much power is dissipated in the $3.0 - \Omega$ resistor?

• A) \(12 \mathrm {~W}\)
• B) \(6.0 \mathrm {~W}\)
• C) \(2.7 \mathrm {~W}\)
• D) \(5.3 \mathrm {~W}\)
