How Do You Verify Calculations in a Parallel Circuit Problem?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on verifying calculations in a parallel circuit problem, specifically with a total voltage (Vt) of 50V, total resistance (Rt) of 117.27Ω, total current (It) of 0.42A, and power (Pt) of 42W. The user expresses uncertainty about the correctness of these values and seeks clarification. The provided link to HyperPhysics serves as a resource for further understanding of circuit calculations.

PREREQUISITES

Here is a crappy sketch of it

Homework Equations


The Attempt at a Solution

I have already discovered

Vt=50v
Rt=117.27Ω
It=0.42A
Pt-42v

I'm not completely sure if its correct but, that's as far as i can get. The rest of it just confuses me.
