Question

When two resistors are connected in series across a 12-V battery, 1.1A flows. When they are connected in parallel across the same battery, 6.3A flows. What is the smaller resistor's value? 1.7 ? 8.4 ? 2.5 ? 0.55 ? When two resistors are connected in series across a 12-V battery, 1.1A flows.

Explanation / Answer

12/1.1=a+b

12/6.3=ab/(a+b)

or smaller=2.5 ohm
