Question

Show Transcribed Text The picture shows a battery connected to two wires in parallel. Both wires are made of the same material and are of the same length, but the diameter of wire \( A \) is twice the diameter of wire B. True or False for the following: 1) The resistance of wire \( B \) is four times as large as the resistance of wire A. 2) The power dissipated in wire \( A \) is 16 times the power dissipated in wire B. 3) The voltage drop across wire B is larger than the voltage drop across wire A. 4) The resistance of wire \( B \) is twice as large as the resistance of wire A. 5) The current through the battery is five times larger than the current through wire B. (please explain! thanks!)
