Problem

Two identical resistors of

6\,\Omega

are connected to a

12\,\text{V}

battery. When they are joined in series the current through the circuit is

I_{\mathrm{s}}

. When they are joined in parallel the current drawn is

I_{\mathrm{p}}

. What is the ratio

I_{\mathrm{p}}:I_{\mathrm{s}}

? a)

2:1

1:4

4:1

1:2
