Question

(b) Rank the resistors based on the potential difference across them, from largest to smallest. (Use only ">" or "=" symbols. Do not include any parentheses around the letters or symbols.)

The circuit diagram shows four resistors, labeled A-D, connected to a battery. The resistances are as follows resistor A R resistor B 2R resistor C 3R resistor D 4R B (a) Rank the resistors based on the current through them, from largest to smallest. (Use only or symbols. Do not include any parentheses around the letters or symbols.) A D BEC (b) Rank the resistors based on the potential difference across them, from largest to smallest (Use only or symbols. Do not include any parentheses around the letters or symbols.) (c) Rank the resistors based on the power dissipated in them, from largest to smallest. (Use only or "S" symbols. Do not include any parentheses around the letters or symbols.)

Explanation / Answer

a) curreent through them from largest to smallest

A>D>B=C

b) potential across them from largest to smallest

D>A>C>B

c) power dissipated in them, from largest to smallest

D>A>C>B
