i think

TheSmartOne:

Mhmm so in parallel, the voltage is the same. The current will be different In series, the voltage will be different, the current will be the same So you're going to have to do a few calculations

jennylove:

oh no ! lol i think i may have done it incorrectly then. could you walk me through the steps?

TheSmartOne:

so if these resistors are in series then it would be easy to go with the "they're all equal" but they're not in series so we can't do that! In parallel the voltage will remain the same So we have voltage= 12 V And we have the values of each resistor So V = IR Just find the current for each resistor and then see which answer choice fits

jennylove:

if i did it correctly, the answer would be A?

TheSmartOne:

What were the values that you got for each resistor? Should be really quick v= IR And V = 12 And plug in each resistor's value

jennylove:

Its D !

TheSmartOne:

Ding ding ding You got it!!

jennylove:

thank you so much for your help! I have a few more questions, however you have been helping me for awhile. you msut need a break! will you be online to help me finish the rest? it would be great if you could! @TheSmartOne

TheSmartOne:

Up to you! I was getting ready to head to bed but if you want we can zoom through your last few, or we can work on it tomorrow!

jennylove:

let me see how many i have! and see if it would best to do it tomorrow.

jennylove:

there seems to be 10, more than i thought. im not sure if you would be able to help with all 10. Its up to you!(: if you would like we could do some now and the rest tomorrow! Thank you so much in advance, no matter how many questions u can help with.

jennylove:

and thank you for as much as you have helped with , im really starting to understand it more!

TheSmartOne:

Yeah let's do it tomorrow haha, my eyes are tired and it's getting late. Ten questions might take a little while, also I'm practically on all day these days smh so hopefully I'll catch you tomorrow. Otherwise maybe someone else who's competent can save the day!

jennylove:

Oh no lol you should get some sleep! Hopefully ill catch you as well! Have a good rest of ypur night (:
