Answer: A voltage source and a resistor are connected in parallel in the circuit shown
Chapter 2, Problem P 2.4-4(choose chapter or problem)
A voltage source and a resistor are connected in parallel in the circuit shown in Figure P 2.4-3. Elements connected in parallel have the same voltage, so \(v=v_{\mathrm{s}}\) in this circuit. Suppose that \(v_{\mathrm{s}}=24 \mathrm{~V}\) and \(i=3 \mathrm{~A}\). Calculate the resistance R and the power absorbed by the resistor.
