Series Circuits
Four resistors, $12 \Omega, 15 \Omega, 20 \Omega,$ and $35 \Omega,$ are in series. (a) Find the equivalent resistance. (b) Find the circuit current and the potential difference across each resistor when the series combination is across a $6.0-\mathrm{V}$ battery. Verify that the sum of the four potential differences equals the battery emf.
(a) Given a 48.0-V battery and $4.0-\Omega$ and $96.0-\Omega$ resistors, find the current and power for each when connected in series. (b) Repeat when the resistances are in parallel.
