Question
1.D47. (1e:1.D32) Resistors can be easily purchased with power ratings (the maximum power dissipation
before they burn up) of W, W, ¿W and 1W. The lower the power rating, the less expensive the
resistor. You are asked to analyze the circuit below to specify the power ratings of each resistor
with the goal of minimizing the cost of the circuit, but also making sure that none of the resistors
will go "poof". You are also asked to make sure that if the user accidentally reverses either of the
two batteries that no resistor will fail.
