Question

1. A 20-ohm resistor, a 30-ohm resistor, and a resistor R are connected in parallel to form an equivalent resistance of 4 ohms. Find R and the current it carries if a 6-A current source is connected to the combination.

2. A current divider consists of 10 resistors in parallel. Nine of them have equal resistances of 60 kilo-ohms and the tenth is a 20 kilo-ohm resistor. Find the equivalent resistance of the divider, and, if the total current entering the divider is 40mA, find the current in the tenth resistor.
