Human circulatory system and circuit breakers:

Circulatory system Suppose the electric circuit shown in Figure P16.58 models the circulatory system with 10,000 arterioles in parallel, each of resistance 100 ?. (a) Determine the net resistance of the arterioles. (b) If the resistance of each arteriole increased by 50% because of narrowing, what now would be the net resistance of the 10,000 arterioles? (c) By how much would the potential difference across these arteriole resistors change if the flow rate (current) is to remain the same?
