In the two-loop circuit shown, V1=24 V, V2=6 V, R1=12, , R2=4, , and R3=2, . (The battery V2 has its positive terminal at the bottom.) How much power is delivered by the battery V1?

  1. 57.6 W
  2. 100.8 W
  3. 25.2 W
  4. 50.4 W

Answer

D. 50.4 W

Solution

Mesh 1: (R1+R2)I1-R2I2=V1 16, ,I1-4, ,I2=24 V. Mesh 2: -R2I1+(R2+R3)I2=+V2 -4, ,I1+6, ,I2=6 V. I1=2.1 A is the current through V1, so P=V1I1=(24 V)(2.1 A)=50.4 W.
