The above circuit in the question is arranged like that, so all the resistance are connected in parallel and the net resistance of the parallel resistor becomes,

$\frac{1}{R _{P}} = \frac{1}{R _{1}} + \frac{1}{R _{2}} + \frac{1}{R _{3}} + \frac{1}{R _{4}} = \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{12} + \frac{1}{8} \Rightarrow R_{P} = \frac{48}{30} Ω$

Now the net resistance will be, $R_{n e t} = (\frac{48}{30} + 0.6) Ω$ , so the net power, $P = \frac{V ^{2}}{R} = \frac{( 2.2 ) ^{2}}{2.2} = 2.2 W$
