Answer Key / Explanation : (a) -

(a)

(i) Rate of chemical energy consumption

3 W

(ii) Rate of energy dissipation inside the cell

 W

(iii) Rate of energy dissipation inside the resistor

 W = 2.6 W

(iv) Power output of source  W = 2.6 W

 represents rate of chemical energy consumption of the cell.

 represents the rate of energy dissipation inside the cell.

 represents the power output of the source of emf.
