Parallel Circuits - Technical MCQs

Q1:

If two parallel-connected resistors dissipate 6 watts and 10 watts of power, then what is the total power loss?

A 3.75 watts

B 4 watts

C 16 watts

D 60 watts

ANS:C - 16 watts

In parallel P=p1+p2.
In series P=p1.p2/p1+p2.

It is same as how we calculate capacitance.
