Question
1. A set of components connected in
series have the following resistances 5
Ω, 22 Ω, 3 Ω and 8 Ω. What is the
total resistance in the circuit? If a 1.5
V triple A battery is added, what is the
current in this circuit?
2. The set of components in problem 1
are now connected in parallel with the
same battery. Calculate the overall
resistance in the circuit. What is the
current in each branch? And the total
current?
3. Which of the circuits in problem 1 & 2
uses more total power? Why? (use 3V
to show a calculation)
