Problem

Two resistors of 4 Ω4\,\Omega and 6 Ω6\,\Omega are connected in series to a 12 V12\,\text{V} battery. (a) Calculate the current in the circuit. (b) Determine the potential difference across each resistor. (c) Compute the power dissipated in each resistor. (d) Show that the sum of the powers obtained in part (c) equals the power supplied by the battery.
