This problem is intended to help you build up some intuition about resistors in parallel and should be done without a calculator. The questions below refer to the following two circuits:

If R1=R2=118ΩR_1 = R_2 = 118\Omega, for what value of R3R_3 (in Ohms) will is1=is2i_{s1} = i_{s2}?

R3= R_3 =~

If R1=136ΩR_1 = 136\Omega, and R2=10KΩR_2 = 10K\Omega, for approximately what value of R3R_3 (in Ohms) will is1=is2i_{s1} = i_{s2}?

R3= R_3 =~

If R1=166ΩR_1 = 166\Omega, and R2=1ΩR_2 = 1\Omega, for approximately what value of R3R_3 (in Ohms) will is1=is2i_{s1} = i_{s2}?

R3= R_3 =~
