In the following circuit, the battery has an emf of 2 V and an internal resistance of 23 . The power consumption in the entire circuit is W. [figure]
Answer
3
Solution
Left side and right side of the square are plain wires, so every 2 Ω path joins the same two points L and R.
Top and bottom: 2 each; each diagonal: 2+2=4
1RLR= 12+ 12+ 14+ 14= 32 RLR= 23
Req= 23+ 23= 43 (with internal resistance)
P= E2Req= 44/3=3 W
