Find the total current through a parallel circuit with three resistors

, and , and a 12.0-V battery. Would this be the same if the resistors were in series? [TEK 5.F]

Find the current through each of the three resistors in part a. Based on your answer, speculate what happens to the current as resistance increases. TEKS (5)(F)

How would this be different if the resistors were in series?

Design a circuit that has two sets of parallel resistors that are parallel to one another. TEKS (5)(F)

Calculate the power of each resistor given in question 1. TEKS (5)(F)
