Question

In a circuit with resistors, why does the total power dissipated equal the power supplied by the source in steady state?

Options

Choose one · Correct answer highlighted

Explanation

In steady state, energy is conserved. The power supplied by the source ( P = V I ) is fully dissipated as heat in the resistors ( P = I² R_{total ), with no energy stored or lost elsewhere.
