Question

(a) What is the equivalent resistance of six resistors connected in series with a 16.0-V battery if each resistor has a value of 12.0 ? 72.0 Correct: Your answer is correct.

(b) Determine the current flowing through each of the six resistors. 0.222 Correct: Your answer is correct. A

(c) If the six resistors were instead connected in parallel across the battery, what would be the equivalent resistance? 0.500 Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect.

(d) Determine the current through each resistor for this parallel connection. 32.0 Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect. A

I need help on part (c) and (d) thank you.

Explanation / Answer

If the six resistors were instead connected in parallel across the battery, what would be the equivalent resistance

16.0-V battery

each resistor has a value of 12.0

Req is

1/Req = 6/R = 6/12 = 1/2

Req = 2

(d) Determine the current through each resistor for this parallel connection

From ohms law

V=I*R

16 = I* 2

I = 8 A
