If the terminals of a battery with zero internal resistance are connected across two identical resistors in series, the total power delivered by the battery is 8.00 W. If the same battery is connected across the same resistors in parallel, what is the total power delivered by the battery

Answer:

24W

Step-by-step explanation:

The series connection has a resistance of 2R

The parallel connection has a resistance of R/2 .. the resistance has decreased by a factor 4

Assuming the battery still provides the same pd .. the current increases by a factor of 4 .. increasing the power output by a factor of 4 also (P = V x A)

Power output = 4 x 8W .. .. So P = 24 W
