Solution
The correct option is AP As we see that in this circuit all the connection are in series,hence when the circuit is in series there will not be any effect on power of circuit by replacing it's resistance. Mathematically we know that power(P)=2vR. so power(P)∝=2v and it will not depend on the value of resistance,therefore we can say the power will remain same on replacing1Ω with 9Ω. CONCLUSION: Power is a function of voltage only and it will vary square times its voltage and we obtained a parabolic graph between power and voltage.
