Answer #1

power = i^ * R

20 = i^2 * 10

i^2 = 2

i = 1.4142 amp

so power dissipated in 5 ohm

i^2 *R = 2 *5 = 10 W

suppose total current = I

i = 20/35 * I

I = 35/20 * i = 35/20* 1.4142 = 2.4748 amp

so current in right brance = 2.4748 - 1.4142 = 1.0606 A

powwer in 20 ohm = 1.06062  *20 = 22.49 watt
