Problem

Four resistors of 3 Ω3\,\Omega, 5 Ω5\,\Omega, 7 Ω7\,\Omega and 10 Ω10\,\Omega are connected in series with a 24 V24\,\text{V} power supply. (i) Calculate the equivalent resistance of the series combination. (ii) Determine the current drawn from the supply. (iii) Compute the power dissipated in the 7 Ω7\,\Omega resistor. (iv) If the circuit operates for 10 minutes, find the electrical energy converted to heat in the 10 Ω10\,\Omega resistor.
