Effective resistance = R1+R2=20 + 20 = 40 ohms
a) Current flowing through the circuit = I = V/R = 5/40 = 0.125amp
b) Potential difference across each resistance = IR = 2.5V
A 5 volt battery is connected to two 20 ohm resistors that are connected in series. a) Determine the current flowing from the battery. b) What is the difference in potential between each resistor?
