To determine the total power in the circuit, we use the formula for electrical power, which is:
[tex]\[ \text{Power (P)} = \text{Voltage (V)} \times \text{Current (I)} \][/tex]
Given:
- Voltage (V) = 24 volts
- Current (I) = 2 amperes
Substitute the given values into the formula:
[tex]\[ \text{Power (P)} = 24 \, \text{V} \times 2 \, \text{A} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Power (P)} = 48 \, \text{W} \][/tex]
Therefore, the total power in the circuit is [tex]\( 48 \, \text{W} \)[/tex].
So the correct answer is:
b) 48 W
