Answer:
in series, R1 + R2 = RT
6 + R2 = 10
R2 = 4
IN SERIES COMBINATION,
CURRENT REMAINS THE SAME.
IT = VT/RT
IT = 20/10
= 2A
I remains the same in series, hence
I1 = 2A
I2 = 2A
V1 = I R1
= 2 x 6
= 12V
V2 = I R2
= 2 X 4
= 8V
P1 = I2R
= 2 X 2 X 6
= 24 W
P2 = I2R
= 2X 2X 4
= 16 W
TOTAL POWER = P1 + P2
= 40W
