Question

Please help! very urgent!

Find the current through and potential difference across each of two 5Ω resistors when they are placed in a circuit containing a 5V battery, and are wired: a) in series, b) in parallel.

Please explain how to do each part so I know how to answer similar questions in the future!
Thanks

Answer 1

\[\frac{ 1 }{R } = \frac{ 1 }{ R _{1} } +\frac{ 1 }{ R _{2} }\]

Answer 2

where \[R _{1} = 5 , R _{2} = 5\]
Find the value of R and substitute it in equation \[V=IR\]

Answer 3

or \[I= \frac{ V }{ R }\] where V=5V

Answer 4

same procedure for series. Formula for series is \[R= R _{1} + R _{2}\]
