The figure shows two resistors in parallel, with values R1 and R2. The current I, divides between them somehow: 4 +I2 = I0 R1 Io I1 12 R2 (a) Determine the total power dissipated by the circuit as a function of I1, R1, 2, and R2. Your expression should depend on I, and I, but these variables are not independent. Use the constraint that the total current is I, to rewrite your expression for the power as a function of I, and I1. (b) Apply the principle of minimum power dissipation to your expression for the power. That is, minimize the total power with respect to I1, then find the currents I, and Iz that flow through the resistors. Show that this gives the same currents as the standard circuit formula for a "current divider". This illustrates a general variational principle that holds for all direct current networks: The distribution of currents within the network, for given input current I, is always that which gives the least total power dissipation.

it's urgent please solve asap
for this the solution just said non-inverting v0=vs((10k/10k )+1) v0=2vs first of all what is non-inverting and how do i know if it is inverting or non-inverting and what is the difference between both in application? and how did he just get the other equation? i dont get it. please explain everything in a lot of detail and provide an altered question for one that is inverted and solve it so i can understand the difference in application. thank you!
