Resistors in Combination: a Resistor Is Made Out of a Long

question 19

Multiple Choice

Resistors in combination: A resistor is made out of a long wire having a length L. Each end of the wire is attached to a terminal of a battery providing a constant voltage V₀. A current I flows through the wire. If the wire were cut in half, making two wires of length L/2, and both wires were attached to the battery (the end of both wires attached to one terminal, and the other ends attached to the other terminal) , what would be the total current flowing through the two wires?

• A) 4I
• B) 2I
• C) I
• D) I/2
• E) I/4
