A circuit contains a 30V power source supplying 6A of current. The power supplied by the source is 180W. A 12V element absorbs 72W as current enters its positive terminal. A 26V element with 2A of current absorbs 52W as current enters its positive terminal.

1. Find V0 and the power absorbed by each element in the circuit of the figure. Round your
intermediate calculations and final answers to two decimal places. Part 1 out of 3 (a)P 30 volt
source = W P 12 volt element = W P 26 volt element with 2 amps flowing through it = W
Solution
P 30 V source = 30 *6 A = 180 W supplied as current leaving positive terminal of source.
So, absorbed power is - 180 W
P 12 V element = 12* 6 = 72 W ( absorbed as current entering positive)
P 26 V element with 2 A flowing through it = 26 * 2 = 52 W ( absorbed as current entering
positive)
