1. Two resistors in series are part of a voltage divider circuit with the smaller resistor receiving 30% of the total voltage. (a) What are the resistance values given that their equivalent resistance is 200 ?? (b) If both resistors are rated as 2-W resistors, what is the minimum total voltage that the voltage divider circuit can handle without exceeding the power rating for either resistor?
