In a series-parallel circuit, individual component power dissipation are calculated using_____________?
Correct answer: A. individual component parameters
- A. individual component parameters
- B. a percent of the total power depending on resistor ratios
- C. total current squared multiplied by the resistor values
- D. a percent of the voltage division ratio squared
Explanation
Power in each component must be calculated from that component's own voltage, current, or resistance, such as P = I²R or P = V²/R. A total-current formula is valid only for particular series arrangements, not for every series-parallel circuit.
