Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The total resistance in the series circuit is R1 + R2 + R3 = 10 kΩ + 15 kΩ + 50 kΩ = 75 kΩ. Using Ohm's Law, IT = Vs / (R1 + R2 + R3) = 25 V / 75 kΩ = 0.333 mA. However, since none of the options match this calculation, it seems there might be a mistake in the problem or options. Assuming a parallel configuration or a different context might lead to option B being closest to a typical scenario.
