27. 5.6 mA, 4.5 mA; 23 mW, 28 mW
29. 43.5 mW; 231 mW; 253 mW
31. Since we know that the total power supplied is equal to the total power absorbed,
we may write: Vs I = I2R1 + I2R2. Now invoke Ohm’s law.

41. 560 mΩ, 1.3 W
43. 266 mΩ; 514 mA
45. Design. Many possible solutions. Hint: Start with finding resistivity, then choose
geometry.
