Ash is working in the lab, and comes across a box of unlabeled resistors (thanks to his messy coworker who never puts them back properly). He remembers that he can find out the resistance using an ammeter to measure current, and a battery with a known voltage. Ash picks a resistor of unknown resistance (in №), connects it to some wires, and then plugs in a battery with a voltage of 12.1 V. This creates a circuit. Using the ammeter, he finds that the current in the circuit is 5.2 A. In ohms, what is the resistance of the unknown resistor? Answer: Ω.

Three resistors, R1 = 17.3, R2 = 13.2, R3 = 78, are connected in series across a 16.6 V battery. What is the voltage drop (in Volts) across R1?
Two humans hang by both hands on a wire that can be connected to a constant voltage source. One teenager hangs from a position in which there is a resistor between their hands, and the other does not. The resistance of the resistor is much larger than that of the wire, which is very small. When the wire is connected to the battery, what does each person feel? Do they each experience the same result, or do they have different experiences, based on where they have chosen to hang onto the wire? Please include a diagram of the circuit!
You have a battery with a voltage of Vtotal = 25 V and two resistors, both with a resistance of R, = R, %3D 40 0. a. How can you connect the resistors to the battery (in series or parallel) in order to achieve the largest power dissipation? How much power is dissipated in this case?

A real battery is not just an emf. We can model a real 1.5 V battery as a 1.5 V emf in series with a resistor known as the “internal resistance,” as shown. A typical battery has 1.0 Ω internal resistance due to imperfections that limit current through the battery. When there’s no current through the battery, and thus no voltage drop across the internal resistance, the potential difference between its terminals is 1.5 V, the value of the emf. Suppose the terminals of this battery are connected to a 2.0 Ω resistor.a. What is the potential difference between the terminals of the battery?b. What fraction of the battery’s power is dissipated by the internal resistance?
A 589 x 10^-6 F capacitor is discharged through a resistor. The potential difference across the capacitor decreases from its initial value of 89.7 to 25.1 in 3.73 s. What is the resistance of the resistor?
Two resistors have resistances R1 and R2, where R1 = 2.8R2. When configured in series and connected to a source potential of 23.6 V, they draw 0.723 W of power. If their configuration is changed to be in parallel and the source potential remains the same, what power does the circuit draw
