Problem

Resistors of

2\,\Omega

3\,\Omega

and

6\,\Omega

are available—one of each. a. (a) Arrange the three resistors so that their equivalent resistance is exactly

4\,\Omega

. State clearly which resistors are in series and which are in parallel. b. (b) Calculate the equivalent resistance of your arrangement to show that it is indeed

4\,\Omega

. c. (c) If the network you designed in part (a) is connected to a

12\,\text{V}

battery, calculate the current supplied by the battery.
