Physics

Three resistors are connected in series across a battery. Thevalue of each resistance and its maximum power rating are asfollows: 6.6Ω and 17.2 W, 34.6Ω and 12.0 W, and 20.0Ω and 12.6 W.(a) What is the greatest voltage that the battery can have withoutone of the resistors burning up? (b) How much power does thebattery deliver to the circuit in (a)?
