Consider connecting three resistors of resistances 39 omega

Question

1. Consider connecting three resistors of resistances 39 Ω, 54 Ω, and 720 Ω together.

a) What is the largest resistance you can obtain in Ω? (b) What is the smallest resistance you can obtain in Ω?

2. Consider the circuit in the following diagram, where the resistances are R₁ = 0.15R, R₂ = 2R, R₃ = 0.55R, and R₄ = 6R, where R = 41 Ω. The circuit is connected to a V = 4.9 V source.

a) Input an expression for the equivalent resistance of the circuit in terms of R₁, R₂, R₃, and R₄.

b) Input an expression using the R_eq and V for power expended by the circuit.

c) What is the power P, in watts?
