1. A circuit is set up with two parallel resistors, each of a resistance of 250.
a. What is the total resistance for this circuit?
b. If another resistor of resistance 300 is added in series with these
two parallel resistors, what is the total resistance?
c. If a voltage of 120V is put across the circuit in b, what will the
current be in the circuit?
