Three wire-wound resistors have the following values: 30 Ohms, 80 Ohms, and 100 Ohms. Each resistor has a voltage rating of 100-V. If these three resistors are connected in series , can they be connected to a 240-V circuit without damage to the resistors? Explain your reasoning.
The total current drawn by a circuit consisting ofthree resistors connected in parallel is 12 A. Thevoltage drop across the first resistor is 12 V, thevalue of the second resistor is 3 ohms, and the power dissipationof the third resistor is 24 W. What are the resistances of the first and third resistors?
