![Find the equivalent resistance (in N) between b and c of the 6.00 N and 3.00 N resistors, which are in parallel (right-hand red-brown circles):
6.00 Q
Reg, bc

The circuit of equivalent resistances now looks like figure (b). The 6.00Q and 2.00 Q resistors are in series (green circles). Find the equivalent resistance (in N) from a to c:
Reg, ac
%3D
This resistance is that of the single equivalent resistor in figure (c).
(b) What is the current in each resistor if a potential difference of 16.00 V is maintained between a and c?
SOLUTION
The currents in the 2.00 Q and 4.00 N resistors are the same because they are in ---Select---
In addition, they carry the same current that would exist in the equivalent resistor subject
the 16.00 V potential difference.
Use the equation R =
AV/I and the result from part (a) to find the current (in A) in the 2.00 Q and 4.00 Q resistors:
AV ac

Set the voltages across the resistors in parallel in figure (a) equal to find a relationship between the currents:
I2
AV, = AV, → (6.00 N)I, = (3.00 N)I2

Use I, + I, = I to find I, (in A):
%3D
I + I2 = I → I, + 2I, = I → I, =
1
Find I, (in A):
I2 = 21, =

Finalize As a final check of our results, note that AVpc = (6.00 N)I, = (3.00 N)I, = 4.00 V and AVab = (6.00 N)I = 12.00 V; therefore, the voltage AV (in V) is
