Question

A. You have a 10-volt parallel circuit, with 2 resistors on it. What is the voltage across the

first resistor? Across the second?

b. You have the same two resistors on a 10-volt series circuit. Will the voltage going into the second resistor be more, less, or the same as that going into the first resistor? Exact numbers aren’t needed!

c. You have a series circuit with a current of 6 amps and three resistors on it, with
resistances of 10 ohms, 5 ohms, and 6 ohms, respectively. What is the voltage of this
circuit? Show your calculation.

Answer 1

a) 10v, 10v

b) the same? if the resistors are identical? not too sure

c) V = IR

v = 6 x (10+5+6)

v = 6 x 21

v = 126V
