Problem

An 8 Ω8\,\Omega resistor and a 12 Ω12\,\Omega resistor are connected in parallel. This combination is then connected in series with a 5 Ω5\,\Omega resistor to a 24 V24\,\text{V} battery. a. (i) Calculate the total power dissipated by the circuit. b. (ii) Find the power dissipated specifically in the 12 Ω12\,\Omega resistor.
