Question

roblem 2. (a) Find the equivalent resistance between point a and point b in figure below. 
(b) If the potential drop between point and point b is 12.0 V, find the current in the 12.0  resistor.

**Problem 2.** (a) Find the equivalent resistance between point \( a \) and point \( b \) in the figure below. (b) If the potential drop between point \( a \) and point \( b \) is 12.0 V, find the current in the 12.0 \(\Omega\) resistor. **Diagram Explanation:** The diagram shows a combination of resistors: - A 12.0 \(\Omega\) resistor is in series with a 6.0 \(\Omega\) resistor. - Parallel to the 6.0 \(\Omega\) resistor is another set of two 6.0 \(\Omega\) resistors, which are in series with each other. The circuit forms a bridge-like configuration from point \( a \) to point \( b \). The arrangement is essential for calculating the equivalent resistance and subsequently determining the current through the specified resistor.
