Problem

A resistor of 4 Ω4\,\Omega is connected in parallel with an unknown resistor RR across a 20 V20\,\text{V} ideal battery. The total current drawn from the battery is required to be 10 A10\,\text{A}. (i) Calculate the value of RR that satisfies this requirement. (ii) For the value of RR obtained in part (i), compute the power dissipated in each resistor.
