Consider the circuit shown in the figure below. (Assume R1 = 12.0 Ω, R2 = 1.35 Ω, and V = 7.75 V.) https://www.webassign.net/sercp9/18-p-008-alt.gif

(a) Calculate the equivalent resistance of the R1 and 5.00-Ω resistors connected in parallel. Ω

(b) Using the result of part (a), calculate the combined resistance of the R1, 5.00-Ω and 4.00-Ω resistors. Ω

(c) Calculate the equivalent resistance of the combined resistance found in part (b) and the parallel 3.00-Ω resistor. Ω

(d) Combine the equivalent resistance found in part (c) with the R2 resistor. Ω

(e) Calculate the total current in the circuit. A

(f) What is the voltage drop across the R2 resistor? V

(g) Subtracting the result of part (f) from the battery voltage, find the voltage across the 3.00-Ω resistor.V

(h) Calculate the current in the 3.00-Ω resistor.A
