1. A combination of three resistors R₁, R₂ and R3 in series is connected across a voltage source VT. The voltage drop across R₁ and R3 are 10 V and 36 V, respectively. If the current supplied by the source voltage is 1.4 A and the total power supplied by the source is 70 W, Calculate the following: A. The value of V, and the voltage drop across R₂ B. The equivalent resistance across the voltage source, and the values of R₁, R₂ and R3 C. The power dissipated by each resistor

Question

- Show your complete solution to each problem on a short bond paper.
- Answers must be expressed in engineering notation (when the exponent of the base 10 multiplier
is not a multiple of 3, press ENG or SHIFT+ENG, whichever the case.)
Example: 0.06N or 6.0x10-2 N must be expressed to 60x10-3 N or 60mN
