Question

A 12-V battery is connected to terminals A and B in Figure 21–30.

(a) Given that \(R=85 \Omega\), find the current in each resistor.

(b) Suppose the value of R is increased. For each resistor in turn, state whether the current flowing through it increases or decreases. Explain.

Solution

Step 1 of 3
