Circuit schematic of three resistors in parallel between + and - terminals: R1 = 60 Ω, R2 = 50 Ω, R3 = 200 Ω, with branch currents I1, I2 = 200 mA, I3, total current It, and voltage U = .... V.

*U=voltage

Homework Equations

U=IR (V=IR)

The Attempt at a Solution

200mA=0,2A --> 0,2*50=10V...? So because it's parallel the source should be 10V too right?
