3. A 2.2-k Ω resistor with a tolerance of +5% is connected to a 12-V dc source. What is the
possible range of power dissipated by the resistor?
4. Determine which, if any, of the following resistors may have been damaged by
overheating. Justify your answer.
a. 560 Ω, 1⁄2W, with 75 V across it.
b. 3 Ω, 20 W, with 4 A through it.
c. 1⁄4W, with 0.25 mA through it and 40 V across it.
6. For the circuits shown in Figure 5–65, determine the total resistance, RT, and the
current, I.
