Electrical Engineering

You are working on the design of a new hybrid-electricexperimental airplane that uses six 12-volt batteries in series.During integration testing, results indicate there is unexplaineddrain on the batteries. The first step in troubleshooting is toanalyze the circuit that may be modeled as three resistors inseries, R1 (10 Ω ), R2 (12 Ω ) , and R3 (18 Ω ). Find the totalresistance. Calculate the total current. Find voltage across eachresistive element. Calculate the power delivered by the batteries.Find the power delivered to the 18Ω . In addition to the abovecalculations, explain to a member of upper management why betterunderstanding of this circuit by calculating these values may bebeneficial to the future design.
