Question
Resistors $R_{1}$ and $R_{2}$ are in series, and the series combination is in parallel with $R_{3} .$ This parallel combination is connected across a battery. Draw a diagram of this circuit.
Step 1
This means that the current flowing through $R_1$ is the same as the current flowing through $R_2$. We can represent this by drawing a straight line with $R_1$ and $R_2$ connected in a row. Show more…

'Problem 2 Draw a circuit with a battery connected to four resistors, R1, R2, R3, and R4, as follows. Resistors R1 and R2 are connected in parallel with each other, resistors R3 and R4 are connected in parallel with each other, and both paralle sets of resistors are connected in series with each other across the battery'
Two resistors, $R_{1}$ and $R_{2}$, are connected in parallel and connected to a battery. Show that the power dissipated in $R_{1}$ plus the power dissipated in $R_{2}$ is equal to the power dissipated in the equivalent resistor, $R_{e q}$, when it is connected to the same battery.
None of the resistors in the circuit shown in the drawing is connected in series or in parallel with one another. Find $\quad$ the current $I_{5}$ and the resistances $(\mathbf{b}) R_{2}$ and $(\mathbf{c}) R_{3}$ .
