Question

In the circuits shown here all the batteries are identical, and all the resistors are identical. In which circuit does the circled resistor have the smallest current flow? (If two or more circuits are tied for the smallest, you must select all of them.) [Hint: if working with numbers is easier, use 4 V for the battery potential differences and 1 Ohm for the resistors.] Circuit A Circuit B Circuit C Circuit A Circuit B Circuit C
