Step 1

Rt = R1 + R2 + R3 + R4 Rt = 20Ω + 25Ω + 10Ω + 65Ω Rt = 120Ω Show more…

Thanks for your feedback!

Given: Vin = 300V R1 = 20Ω R2 = 25Ω R3 = 10Ω R4 = 65Ω I1 = 9A To calculate the power consumed by Rx in watts, we can use the formula: Power (P) = (Current)^2 * Resistance First, let's calculate the total resistance (Rt) in the circuit: Rt = R1 + R2 + R3 + R4 Rt = 20Ω + 25Ω + 10Ω + 65Ω Rt = 120Ω Next, let's calculate the current (I) flowing through the circuit: I = Vin / Rt I = 300V / 120Ω I = 2.5A Now, we can calculate the power consumed by Rx: Power (P) = I^2 * Rx Since we don't have the value of Rx, we cannot calculate the power consumed by Rx without that information.
