Step 1
The formula for calculating the equivalent resistance of two resistors in parallel is: 1/Req = 1/R1 + 1/R2 where Req is the equivalent resistance, R1 and R2 are the individual resistances. Plugging in the values, we get: 1/Req = 1/5 + 1/14 1/Req = 0.4 + Show more…

When two resistors, $R_{1}$ and $R_{2},$ are connected in series across a 6.0-V battery, the potential difference across $R_{1}$ is 4.0 $\mathrm{V}$ . When $R_{1}$ and $R_{2}$ are connected in parallel to the same battery, the current through $R_{2}$ is 0.45 A. Find the values of $R_{1}$ and $R_{2}$ .
Resistors of R1 = 10 ohms, R2 = 4 ohms, and R3 = 8 ohms are connected to two batteries (of negligible resistance) as shown. Find the current through each resistor.
