Question

The current in resistor Y is..?

Answer 1

(A)

Explanation:

We can see that the resistors are connected in parallel so all of them have the same voltage of 100 V. We also know that

$P = VI$

Since resistor Y dissipates 100 W of power, we can solve for the current as

$I = \dfrac{P}{V} = \dfrac{100\:\text{W}}{100\:\text{V}} = 1.0\:\text{A}$

Answer 2

The current in resistor Y is

a)1.0 A
