To get the minimum current, the connection should be in series. If you create a series connection with 30V DC source and three resistors with R1 = 50Ω, R2 = 75Ω, and R3 = 100Ω, how do you calculate for the total current (IT) and the current flowing in each resistor (I1, I2, I3), and the total voltage (VT) and the voltage across each resistor (V1, V2, V3)? How do you also determine the power dissipated by each resistor (P1, P2, P3) and by the whole circuit (PT)??

The figure shows a resistor of resistance R = 6.32 connected to an ideal battery of emf 8 = 14.0 V by means of two copper wires. Each wire has length 22.0 cm and radius 2.30 mm.
