Chapter 2, Problem 2.15P
We are designing an electric space heater to operate from 120V. Two heating elements with resistances R1 and R2 are to be used that can be operated in parallel, separately, or in series. The highest power is to be 1280W, and the lowest power is to be 240W. What values are needed for R1 and R2? What intermediate power settings are available?

- 2. In a circuit that contains only resistors in parallel, some of the current in the circuit will go through each branch of the parallel resistors, as dictated by Kirchoff's Junction Rule. Furthermore, the potential difference provided by the battery is the potential difference across each branch of the parallel resistors (notice there is no potential drop between the branches). Assume the batteries supply a potential difference of AV = 3.0 V, and use Ohm's Law along with the currents measured through resistor R1 in circuits 4a, 4b, and 4c to determine the effective resistance in this branch (the branch that includes R1) of each circuit.
