Question in the attachment

**Problem Description:**

Three resistors are connected in *parallel* to a 69.5 V battery. The resistances are as follows: \( R_1 = 8.18 \, \Omega \), \( R_2 = 8.01 \, \Omega \), and \( R_3 = 6.63 \, \Omega \). As \( R_3 \) heats up, its resistance increases according to:

\[
\frac{dR_3}{dt} = 0.301 \, \Omega/s
\]

Assume the resistance of the other resistors remains constant. Determine \( \frac{dP}{dt} \), the rate at which the power pulled from the battery is changing in W/s, at the instant \( R_3 = 29 \, \Omega \). The sign will indicate whether the power is increasing or decreasing.

**Discussion Question:**

How does the rate at which the power changes in a parallel circuit compare with the rate at which power changes in a series circuit?
