A current of 6 amperes branches into currents x, y, and z through resistors with resistences 6, 4, and 3 ohms as shown. I=6 amps X = y = I=x, R=6 It is known that the current splits in such a way that the sum of the currents through the three resistors equals the initial current. The energy generated in each resistor is given by E = I2R, where I is the current in that resistor and R is the resistance. Use Lagrange multipliers to find the currents x, y, and z which will minimize the total energy generated. (It turns out that nature always splits the currents so that the total energy is minimized.)
