    What Power Is Dissipated by the R2 Resistor?

    Noted. I did finally figure out how to get the right answer. Thank you all for your help and I'll remember not to plug and chug next time.

    What Power Is Dissipated by the R2 Resistor?

    Thank you both. Most of the other problems I had to do were relatively simple. Understood however. I will step back next time and rethink the problem. So I would make two loops then? The one on the left going clockwise inside the box and the other going clockwise inside the right box? Then the...

    What Power Is Dissipated by the R2 Resistor?

    Homework Statement What power is dissipated by the R2=3.0Ω resistor in the figure if R1=6.0Ω? Battery 1: 12 V Battery 2: 15 V Resistor 1: 3.0 Ω Resistor 2: 6.0 Ω Homework Equations P = V2/R Rtotal = R1 + R2 The Attempt at a Solution I started on the left side and used the formula, P = V2/R...
