The three resistances of equal value are arranged in the different combinations shown below. Arrange them in increasing order of power dissipation
III < II < IV <I
II < III < IV < I
I < IV < III < II
I < III < II < IV
Current is same, so
In the first case I is 3 r, in second case it is , in third case it is
and in fourth case the net resistance is
.
