In the diagram above, if the internal resistance of the cell is zero, the ration of the powers P
1 and P
2 dissipated by R
1 and R
2
-
A.
R2/R1
-
B.
R1/R2
-
C.
R1+R2/R1
-
D.
R1+R2/R2
Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation
Power = IV = I2R = V2/R
In terms of e.m.f E, of a cell we have
IE = I2R = E2/R
∴P1 = E2/R; P2 = E2/R2/E2/R2
= E2/R1 x R2/E2 = R2/R1
∴P1/P2 = R2/R1
