Three resistors having resistances of 1.60, 2.40 , and 4.80 are connected in parallel to a 28.0-V

Question:

Three resistors having resistances of 1.60Ω, 2.40 Ω, and 4.80 Ω are connected in parallel to a 28.0-V battery that has negligible internal resistance. Find (a) The equivalent resistance of the combination;
(b) The current in each resistor;
(c) The total current through the battery;
(d) The voltage across each resistor;
(e) The power dissipated in each resistor.
(f) Which resistor dissipates the most power: the one with the greatest resistance or the least resistance? Explain why this should be.
