Question:

Three resistors R₁, R₂, and R3 are initially connected in parallel to a 12-V source. The total current supplied to the three resistors is 500 μA. Assume R₁ has a resistance of 40,000Ω and R₂ has a current running through it of 100 μA. If the 12-V supply is kept in place but R₃ is moved so that it is in series with R₁ and R₂, which are still kept in parallel, what will be the total current through the circuit?
