2. In the network shown, given e = 36 V, R: = 40, R= 6.000 and R=3.000. What is the potential difference difference Va between points a and b when the switch S is open and when closed? Calculate the current through all resistors at open and closed switch S. What happens to the current for each resistor if S is dlosed? Does it increase or decrease?
