1. A 12-ohm resistor is connected in parallel with a series combination of 8-ohmand 16-ohm resistors. If the voltage across the 8-ohm resistor is 48-volts,calculate the (a) total resistance, (b) total supply voltage, and (c) circuit current.2. A 45-ohm resistor is connected in series with a resistor R whose ohmic value isunknown. If the total current (taken by both resistors) is 7-amperes and thesupply voltage is 120-volts. Calculate the resistance R of the unknown.
