Answer:

  P_a = 3P₀ ,  P_b = 2 P₀ ,       P_c = 3 P₀

P_c> P_b> P_a

Explanation:

To determine which circuit consumes more energy than is given by the expression

           P = V I

           V = I R

           I = V / R

           P = V² / R

As all circuits have the same battery, the value of the resistance to which the battery is connected determines the consumption

Circuit A

In this circuit the three bulbs are in series so the total resistance is

         R_total = 3 R

the power dissipated is

         P_a = V² / 3R

if we call

         P₀ = V² / R

       

we substitute

         P_a = P₀/3

Circuit B

Two bulbs are connected in series

           R_total = 2 R

power is

        P_b = V2 / 2R

        P_b =  P₀/2

Circuit C

The 3 bulbs are connected, but in parallel, the resistance is

        1 / R_totak = 1 / R + 1 / R + 1 / R

        R_total = R / 3

        P _c = V2 3 / R

        P_c = 3 Po

By reviewing these results, we can sort the circuits

        P_c> P_b> P_a
