(Indicates a review question, which means it requires only a basic understanding of the material to answer. Questions without this designation typically require integrating or extending the concepts presented thus far.) . Six resistors, all having the same temperatures and compositions, are each attached to a battery with voltage V to form a simple circuit. The resistors have different lengths, l, but the same diameters. Rank the circuits according to the current that flows through the resistor from smallest to greatest. If two (or more) circuits have the same current flowing, give them the same ranking. Explain the rationale you used to establish your rankings. Circuit 1: l = 2 cm; V = 3 V Circuit 2: l = 2 cm; V = 6 V Circuit 3: l = 1 cm; V = 3 V Circuit 4: l = 1 cm; V = 6 V Circuit 5: l = 3cm; V = 2 V Circuit 6: l = 3cm; V = 6 V
