Options:
  • A $1 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{s}$
  • B $5 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{s}$
  • C $0.42 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{s}$
  • D $0.8 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{s}$

The correct answer is: $1 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{s}$
Rate of energy $\frac{H}{t}=i^2 R$
(But total Resistance $R=21+4=25 \Omega$ )
So, $\quad \frac{H}{t}=0.2 \times 0.2 \times 25=1 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{s}$
