### Electrical Circuit Analysis

#### Problem 15: Analyzing a Parallel Resistor Circuit

Given the following circuit, find the specified values.

**Circuit Diagram Configuration:**
- A 24V DC power source is connected, labeled from point A (positive terminal) to point B (negative terminal).
- Three resistors connected in parallel:
  - \( R_1 = 10 \Omega \)
  - \( R_2 = 20 \Omega \)
  - \( R_3 = 30 \Omega \)
- Currents flow through each resistor:
  - \( I_1 \) through \( R_1 \)
  - \( I_2 \) through \( R_2 \)
  - \( I_3 \) through \( R_3 \)

**Required Calculations:**
1. **Total Resistance (\( R_T \))**:
   \[
   R_T = \text{____}
   \]
2. **Total Current (\( I_T \))**:
   \[
   I_T = \text{____}
   \]
3. **Currents through each resistor**:
   \[
   I_1 = \text{____}
   \]
   \[
   I_2 = \text{____}
   \]
   \[
   I_3 = \text{____}
   \]

4. **Voltages across each resistor** (same for each in parallel):
   \[
   V_1 = \text{____}
   \]
   \[
   V_2 = \text{____}
   \]
   \[
   V_3 = \text{____}
   \]

### Analyzing the Circuit

1. **Calculating Total Resistance \( R_T \)**:
   The total resistance for resistors in parallel can be calculated using the formula:
   \[
   \frac{1}{R_T} = \frac{1}{R_1} + \frac{1}{R_2} + \frac{1}{R_3}
   \]

2. **Calculating Total Current \( I_T \)**:
   The total current supplied by the source is:
   \[
   I_T = \frac{V}{R_T}
   \]
   where \( V \) is the voltage of the source (24V).

3. **Calculating Individual Currents**:
   The current through each resistor in
