Question

Two resistors, R1 and R2, with R2 < R1, are connected to a battery in several ways. Rank these four circuits in order of increasing power consumed a.) Both resistors connected in series to the battery. b.) Only R1 connected to the battery. c.) Both resistors connected in parallel to the battery. d.) Only R2 connected to the battery.

Explanation / Answer

Two resistors, R1 and R2, with R2 > R1, are connected to a battery in several ways. Rank these four circuits in order of increasing power consumed Both resistors connected in series to the battery. Both resistors connected in parallel to the battery. Only R1 connected to the battery. Only R2 connected to the battery. These are ranked 1 through 4 and I am completely lost, Any help appreciated! highest power is lowest value resistor. both in parallel is highest power R1 alone R2 alone both in series is lowest power
