Three \(2\ Ω\) resistors, \(A\), \(B\) and \(C\), are connected as shown in figure. Each of them dissipates energy and can withstand a maximum power of \(18\ W\) without melting. Find the maximum current that can flow through the three resistors?

The formula to calculate current from power formula is
 
I2=ii=iI=iA
 
The sum of the individual currents in each parallel branch in a parallel circuit the main current flowing into or out of the parallel branches. The potential difference across separate parallel branches are the .
 
The current flowing through \(B\) and \(C\) is given as
