Question

A 2.8kΩ2.8-\mathrm{k} \Omega and a 3.7kΩ3.7-\mathrm{k} \Omega resistor are connected in parallel; this combination is connected in series with a 1.8kΩ1.8-\mathrm{k} \Omega resistor. If each resistor is rated at 12 W\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{~W} (maximum without overheating), what is the maximum voltage that can be applied across the whole network?

Given:

R1=2.8 kΩR2=3.7 kΩR3=1.8 kΩPR=12 W \begin{aligned} &R_1 = 2.8\text{ k}\Omega\\ &R_2 = 3.7\text{ k}\Omega\\ &R_3 = 1.8\text{ k}\Omega\\ &P_R = \dfrac{1}{2}\text{ W} \end{aligned}
