Electrical Engineering

You are testing a new GPS system for general aviation aircraftand have encountered some unexplained heating. Modeling the circuitas three resistors in series, R1 (2 Ω) is known whileR2 and R3 are not. We measure voltage dropsof V1= 1 V, V2 = 50 V, and V3 =100 V respectively across the three resistors. Determine theresistance of the unknown resistors.

In addition to the above calculations, explain to a member ofupper management why anomalous heating in this circuit is relatedto determining these values and hence may be beneficial to thefuture design operations.
