Question
A student is provivded with a 12.0- V battery of negligible internal resistance and four resistors with the following resistances: 100, 30, 20, and 10 ohms. The student also has plenty of wire of negligible resistance available to make connections as desired.a) Using all of the components, draw a circuit diagram in which each resistor has nonzero current flowing through it, but in which the current from the battery is as small as possible.
b) Using all of these components, draw a circuit diagram in which each resistor has nonzero current flowing through it, but in which the current from the battery is as large as possible (without short circuiting the battery).
Explanation / Answer
a. Draw a simple circuit with the resistors in SERIES. b. Draw a simple circuit with resistors in PARALLEL.
