Problem

Two resistors of

4\,\Omega

and

8\,\Omega

are connected in parallel across a

12\,\text{V}

battery. The

8\,\Omega

resistor is replaced by a

2\,\Omega

resistor while the battery voltage remains the same. What happens to the current through the

4\,\Omega

resistor? a)

6\,\text{A}

3\,\text{A}

1.5\,\text{A}

2\,\text{A}
