Calculate the power absorbed by each component in the circuit shown in figure.

Steps to Solve

1. Identify the components and values Determine the voltage and current for each component. From the circuit:

   • P1: Current = 10 A, Voltage = 16 V
   • P2: Voltage = 6 V (Connected parallelly)
   • P3: Current = 6 A, Voltage = 22 V
   • P4: Resistance = 0.4 Ω (We'll calculate the current through it)

2. Calculate power absorbed by P1 Use the formula for power: $$ P = VI $$ For P1: $$ P_1 = 16 , \text{V} \times 10 , \text{A} = 160 , \text{W} $$

3. Calculate power absorbed by P2 Using the same power formula: $$ P_2 = 6 , \text{V} \times 10 , \text{A} = 60 , \text{W} $$ (Assuming the same current flows through P2 due to parallel connection)

4. Calculate power absorbed by P3 Applying the power formula again: $$ P_3 = 22 , \text{V} \times 6 , \text{A} = 132 , \text{W} $$

5. Calculate current through P4 Using Ohm's Law ($ V = IR $): $$ I_4 = \frac{V}{R} = \frac{22 , \text{V}}{0.4 , \Omega} = 55 , \text{A} $$

6. Calculate power absorbed by P4 Using the power formula: $$ P_4 = V \times I = 22 , \text{V} \times 55 , \text{A} = 1210 , \text{W} $$
