Answer #1

Voltage across Parallel resistance is same-
V = I2 * R2
V = 3 * 40
V = 120v

(a)
Current in the first resistor -
V = I1 *R1
I1 = V/R1
I1 = 120/38
I1 = 3.16 A
Current in the first resistor I1 = 3.16 A

(b)
Power dissipated = V*I = 120 * (3 +3.16)
Total power supplied to the two resistors P = 739.2 Watt
