Draw a circuit diagram of an electric circuit containinga cell a.closed.key an ammeter a resistor of.2.ohm in serieswith a combinationof two resistors4 ohm each in paralleland.a voltmeter across the parallel combination . Will the potential differenceacross the 2 ohm resistorbe the same as that across the parallel combinationof 4 ohm resistos . Give reason
Dear Student
The circuit is shown as the figure:
Effective resistance of combination of two resistors (4 ohms each) in parallel is
Since, the resistor of 2 ohms and parallel combination of two 4 ohms resistors are in series, same current will flow through these. Hence, the potential difference across 2 ohms resistor is same as that across combination of two resistors.
Regards
