Can anyone explain me the following question?
View attachment 64118
If you want additional reasoning:
A and B are incorrect because we don't know the resistance of the resistors(or whether they are identical), so we can't determine their power loss(so A and B can't be justified).
D is incorrect because again, the power produced by the cell is spread to overcome the resistance in each resistor, so the power is spread over the 3 resistors, not just 1.

So the power produced by the cell is distributed to overcome the resistance of each resistor(this causes power loss). So the power produced by the cell is equal to the power lost in the resistors which is why C is the correct answer. 'Power output of the cell' just means the power produced by the cell.

Thanks a lot.

Yeah! Btw which extra subject did u take? And what are ur subjects now in a level?
I don't know how to identify an extra subject since BDC Karachi encouraged us to take 9, but I took these in olevels: business, maths, add maths, chemistry, physics, urdu first language, english first language, pak studies, islamiyat.
In a-levels i am taking: maths, physics, chemistry, psychology.
