In a parallel circuit, if the source is 240V and I= 5A, R1= ?, R2= 16ohms, R3= 12ohms, the total resistance would be?
Added by Robert M.
Step 1
Instead, it is given by the formula: 1/Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 We know the values of R2 and R3, so we can substitute them into the formula: 1/Rt = 1/R1 + 1/16 + 1/12 We don't know the value of R1 or Rt yet, so we can't solve this equation at this Show more…

Three resistors R1, R2, and R3 are connected in series to a 115-volt source. If R1 = 60Ω, and V2 = 38 volts when the current is 0.65 A, calculate the resistances of R2 and R3.
