Homework Statement
What is the power dissipated by the 5.0Ω resistor in the following circuit?
Homework Equations
I thought maybe to simplify the resistance like.1/r=1/30 +1/30
r=15
+10+5
R=30ohms
then find the current
v=ir
25=Ix30
I=.8333
then find power with the 5 ohms?
P=vi
P=25x5
P=75w?
answer given is 6.2w?
thanks.
