Calculate the power used in the 2 Ω resistor in each of the following circuits: (i) a 6 V battery in series with 1 Ω and 2 Ω resistors, and (ii) a 4 V battery in parallel with 12 Ω and 2 Ω resistors.
Added by Simon S.
Step 1
To calculate the power used in the 2 Ω resistor, we need to find the current flowing through it. We can use Ohm's Law to find the current: V = I * R Where V is the voltage, I is the current, and R is the resistance. For the 1 Ω resistor, the voltage across it Show more…
