You are given a number of 16 Ω resistors, each capable of dissipating only 2.0 W without being destroyed. What is the minimum number of such resistors that you need to combine in series or in parallel to make a 16 Ω resistance that is capable of dissipating at least 10.7 W?

The figure displays two circuits with a charged capacitor that is to be discharged through a resistor when a switch is closed. In figure (a) below, R₁ = 21.7 Q and C₁ = 5.08 µF. In figure (b) below, R₂ = 10.5 Q and C₂ = 8.00 μF. The ratio of the initial charges on the two capacitors is 902/901 = 1.82. At time t = 0, both switches are closed. At what time t do the two capacitors have the same charge? Number i 0.188 Units 00 ms (a) (b)

You have a battery with a voltage of Vtotal = 25 V and two resistors, both with a resistance of R, = R, %3D 40 0. a. How can you connect the resistors to the battery (in series or parallel) in order to achieve the largest power dissipation? How much power is dissipated in this case?

Two resistors have resistances R1 and R2, where R1 = 2.8R2. When configured in series and connected to a source potential of 23.6 V, they draw 0.723 W of power. If their configuration is changed to be in parallel and the source potential remains the same, what power does the circuit draw
