The document provides calculations to analyze a circuit with three parallel resistors (R1 = 8 kΩ, R2 = 24 kΩ, R3 = ∞) powered by a 48V source. It calculates: 1) The total resistance RT = 6 kΩ and total conductance GT = 0.1667 mS. 2) Branch currents I1 = 6 mA and I2 = 2 mA, with total current IS = 8 mA. 3) Power delivered to the circuit PT = 0.384 W, with power dissipated PR1 = 0.288 W in R1 and PR2 = 0.096 W in R2. 4) The minimum w
