Question
Three resistors of 50 N, 100 N and an unknown resistance R are connected in parallel and the
combination is connected to a 25 V source. If the total current delivered by the source is 1 A,
determine the following:
A. The value of R
(Ans. R = 100 2)
B. The current in each resistor
(Ans. I1 = 0.5 A, I2 = I3 = 0.25 A)
C. Which resistor dissipates the highest power? Show your solution.
(Ans. R1)
