The total power delivered by the battery if the lightbulbs are connected is 9V^2/R
<h3>Power of a battery</h3>
The formula for calculating the power of a battery is expressed according to the equation;
Power = v^2/RT
where
R is the total resistance
v is the voltage or emf
If there are 3 identical lightbulbs, each having constant resistance R, then;
1/RT = 1/R + 1/R + 1/R
1/RT = 3/R
RT = R/3
The voltage drop across each lightbulbs will be the same for parallel connection, hence;
Power = 3V^2/(R/3)
Power = 9V^2/R
Hence the total power delivered by the battery if the lightbulbs are connected is 9V^2/R
