For the parallel network in Fig. 1:

a. Without making a single calculation, make a guess on the total resistance.

---

b. Calculate the total resistance, and compare it to your guess in part (a).

---

c. Without making a single calculation, which branch will have the most current? Which will have the least?

---

d. Calculate the current through each branch, and compare your results to the assumptions of part (c).

---

e. Find the source current and test whether it equals the sum of the branch currents.

---

f. How does the magnitude of the source current, ompare to that of the branch currents?
