question 36

Essay

Resistors in combination: A 5.0-Ω resistor and a 9.0-Ω resistor are connected in parallel. A 4.0-Ω resistor is then connected in series with this parallel combination. An ideal 6.0-V battery is then connected across the series-parallel combination of the three resistors. What is the current through
(a) the 4.0-Ω resistor?
(b) the 5.0-Ω resistor?
(c) the 9.0-Ω resistor?
