In the following circuit, the battery has an emf of and an internal resistance of . The power consumption in the entire circuit is ______ .

In the following circuit, the battery has an emf of and an internal resistance of . The power consumption in the entire circuit is ______ .


As we can see, two resistances of in the middle portion(in both left and right side) are in parallel, so their combined resistance will be . Now this resistance along with the topmost & bottommost resistance are in parallel again, so total resistance of the circuit will be,
