Question

Resistors, 10 ohms and 15 ohms, are connected in series. The power being consumed by the 10-ohm resistor is 22.5 watts. Determine the following:

  1. the value of the voltage source energizing the circuit; 
  2. the power being dissipated by the 15-ohm resistor if the two resistors were to be connected in parallel using the same source; 

NOTE

 

    • Use the appropriate unit of measurement; observe the best applicable engineering notation and Greek prefix. Wrong unit of measurement will make the final answer wrong.
    • Box your final answers. Express your answers accurate to four decimal places.
