Question

Consider the five circuits shown in Figure 5-13 in answering the following questions. Figure 5-13: Circuits featuring parallel and series connections. For each of the circuits in Figure 5-13, sketch a standard circuit diagram showing all the resistors in the circuit. In each diagram, label each of the resistors in the circuit with a number. Then describe which resistors or combination of resistors are in series and parallel with each other. Rank the five circuits in Figure 5-13 by their total resistance. Which has the most resistance? The least resistance? Explain your reasoning. Rank each of the circuits in Figure 5-13 according to the total current flowing through the battery. Explain your reasoning.

Explanation / Answer

If A B and C are equal then we get
fig 5 > fig 1 = fig 2 = fig 3 > fig 4
Parallel combination reduces the resistance and series increases

Current is inversely proportionall to resistance hence for constant potential applied order will reverse.
