the resistor placed was in parallel with R2 & circuit and we can also estimate the power
dissipated in a circuit by the equation P =
E^2/R and P= I^2 R in each resistive circuit.
While, in parallel resistive circuit power can be
used to find the power dispersed by individual
resistors in parallel circuits with the formula P
= E^2/R and P = I^2 R and also the square law
power-to-voltage / stream relationship to
determine the dissipation can be applied. The
parallel branch circuit's corresponding
resistance often dispels the same force as the
initial branch resistors. The final section is the
power of series/parallel resistive circuits, which
can be calculated by the use of the formula P =
EI. Apply the power transmitted by each
division to determine the total circuit capacity.
If the load resistance is equivalent to the
resistance of the source, full power is passed to
a load. If RL does not equate to R, the load is
provided with less than the maximum power.

resistive circuits, you can determine the total
power in a series/parallel resistive circuit by
using the formula P = EI. To calculate the total
circuit power, add the power dissipated by each
branch. The maximum power is transferred to a
load when load resistance equals the source
resistance. Whenever R L does not equal R S, less
than maximum power is delivered to the load.
