Here, 2 , 3 and 6 are in parallel. So potential drop across them will be the same. As heat produced, , so maximum heat will be generated across 2 resistance. Similarly 4 and are also in parallel, so more heat will e generated across 4 . Now the effective circuit will become
Total resistance,
Current,
and
Power spent across 2 ,
Power spent across 4 ,
. Hence maximum heat is produced in 4 resistance.
