Two resistors have resistances R1 and R2. When the resistors are connected in series to a 12.0-V battery, the current from the battery is 2.00 A. When the resistors are connected in parallel to the battery, the total current from the battery is 9.00 A. Determine R1 and R2.

Step 1
- Voltage of the battery, \( V = 12.0 \, \text{V} \). - Current in series connection, \( I_s = 2.00 \, \text{A} \). - Current in parallel connection, \( I_p = 9.00 \, \text{A} \). Show more…

Two resistors, $A$ and $B$, are connected in series to a $6.0 \mathrm{V}$ battery. A voltmeter connected across resistor A measures a potential difference of $4.0 \mathrm{V}$. When the two resistors are connected in parallel across the $6.0 \mathrm{V}$ battery, the current in $B$ is found to be $2.0 \mathrm{A}$ Find the resistances of $A$ and $B.$
