Problem

Two resistors, 10 Ω10\,\Omega and 40 Ω40\,\Omega, are connected in parallel across an ideal 12 V12\,\text{V} source and operate for 60 s60\,\text{s}. Determine the thermal energy produced in (a) the 10 Ω10\,\Omega resistor and (b) the 40 Ω40\,\Omega resistor during this time interval. State both answers in joules.
