I need a labled schematic on paper of the circuit showing + and - terminals of the battery, the direction of any current flowing through the circuit, and any voltage drop across any resistors. I also need the form of the equations dealing with I, R (or 1/R), and V equations filled in with the appropriate numbers and answer with units for this problem. Problem: The same two resistors are connected in parallel to a voltage source. The voltage source (∆Vtot) is a 48-V source and the resistor values are 6.4 Ω (R1) and 3.9 Ω (R2). Determine the equivalent resistance of the circuit. Determine the current in the circuit. Determine the voltage drop across each individual resistor.
