D2-SCT43: FOUR RESISTOR CIRCUIT III-POTENTIAL DIFFERENCE In the circuit shown, the sizes of the resistors vary as R₂ > R₁ > R₂ > R.. Four students discussing the potential differences in this circuit make the following statements: Anselma: "I think the potential difference across R, will be the largest because all of the current from the battery goes through it, and it is not the smallest resistance in the circuit." Brooke: Chandra: "I think the potential difference through R, will be largest because that branch will have the larger current of the two branches in the circuit." "I am not sure about the potential difference across R₁, but I think the potential differences across the two horizontal branches will be the same." Deangelo: Eloy: With which, if any, of these students do you agree? Chandra Deangelo Anselma Brooke Explain your reasoning. R3 W Eloy None of them H R₁ "I'm pretty sure the potential difference across R, will be larger than the potential difference across R₂ because R, has a larger resistance than R” R₂ R4 ww W "I think the two horizontal branches have the same potential difference as the battery since they are in parallel with the battery."
