3. Zeľs family loves to cook. According to Zel's friends, they have every imaginable kitchen gadget that exists. One Sunday afternoon, they have a cooking party in which every member of the family participates. They get out the following small appliances, plug them in and turn them on. Series Connection Parallel Connection Mixer (R1=81 S) Crockpot (R2=62 Q) Juicer (R3=43 2) Blender (R4=21 Q) Electric Fondue (Rs=16 Q) Wok (R6=12 Q) Rotisserie (R7=7.5 Q) Deep-fat fryer (R3=7.0 2) The resistance values for each appliance are listed in parenthesis. Each appliance is plugged in to 220-volt receptacles. a. Determine the total resistance (RT) of the circuit. b. Determine the total current (IT) in the circuit. c. Determine the voltage drops across each individual resistor. d. Calculate the individual current of R5, R6, R7 and R8
