Problem VIII. A current source and two resistors are connected in series in the circuit shown in Figure P 2.4-6. Elements connected in series have the same current, so
i1=is and
i2=is in this circuit. Suppose that is
=2A,R1=4\Omega , and
R2=8\Omega . Calculate the voltage across each resistor and the powerabsorbed by each resistor. Hint: Notice the reference directions of the resistor voltages.
