Problem 1 A 24-volt automotive battery is connected to two headlights, such that the two loads are in parallel; each of the headlights is intended to be a 75-W load, however, a 100-W headlight is mistakenly installed. What is the resistance of each headlight, and what is the total resistance seen by the battery?
