Transcribed Image Text:The diagram shows a simple electrical circuit with two main components:
1. **Voltage Source (Vsupply):**
- Represented by a circle with an arrow inside, indicating the direction of the supplied voltage.
2. **Resistors (R1 and R2):**
- Two resistors are placed in parallel, labeled as R1 and R2.
**Explanation of the Circuit:**
- This is a parallel circuit, where the voltage source (Vsupply) provides power to two resistors (R1 and R2) simultaneously.
- In a parallel circuit, the voltage across each component is the same, and the total current is the sum of currents through each path.
- The resistors are positioned such that they share the same voltage but may carry different currents depending on their resistance values.

Transcribed Image Text:### Circuit Analysis Problem
**Problem Statement:**
If the values for the circuit in Figure (1) are changed as follows:
- \( V_{\text{Supply}} = 48 \) Volts
- \( R_1 = 40 \, \Omega \)
- \( R_2 = 60 \, \Omega \)
Calculate \( R_{\text{Total}} \), \( I_{\text{Total}} \), \( I_1 \), and \( I_2 \) for the new values of the circuit.
