Dear anshu ,

Total resisitance of the circuit  = (R2 || R3) + R1

      Req  = R2 R3/R2 + R3 + R1 ;  solving we get , Req  = 3 Ω

    Now time constant of the circuit  = Req  c  =  18 ms

now apply the transient current equation ,  i  = (V/Req) (e-t / Time constant)

  we get , i  = (10/3) ( e-t/18ms)  A

now we can see that current in R2 and R3 divides equally as they are eual . so , current in R2  =  i/2

Applying joule 's heat formula  -

   Total heat dissipated  =  ∫iR2 R dt  =  ∫ (100/9 ( e-t/18ms) * 2* dt     =   (200/9)  ∫ e-2t/18ms   dt   ( limits from  0 to infi )

    =    ( 200/9) * (9 ms) =  200 mJ = 2 *106µJ
