three resistances are connected in a parallel circuit, 1 Ohm, 2 Ohms, and 5 Ohms, and I guess the overall resistance is
1/1 + 1/2 + 1/5 = 10/10 + 5/10 + 2/10 = 17/10 and the reciprocal is 10/17 therefore the overall resistance is 10/17 Ohms, then what is the current in each of the three resisitors? is it

10 = 10/17 x current
17 Amperes in each of the three resistors?
What is the voltage in each of the resistors?

thanks again!
