Question

Aren't these resistors in parallel?

Answer 1

Wouldn't total resistance be ((1/5) + 1/1)^-1 ?

Answer 2

The question asks me to find the current in this circuit. The answer key says that I use Ohm's Law I = V/R and R= 6 V=12

Answer 3

Which means they just added the resistors together, but to my understanding in a parallel circuit resistors are divided?

Answer 4

they are in series lol

Answer 5

lol wut

Answer 6

These resistors are definitely in series (with the battery).

To find the total circuit resistance, add the 2 resistors together.

Answer 7

Chupa: I hope your "lol wut" doesn't reflect your true attitude towards learning this material.

Answer 8

No, I was just confused. I want to learn, I wouldn't be here I didn't.
