This problem has 3 parts.
A single resistor with resistance R ohms is connected to abattery.
part a - If the single resistor is replaced with 2 identicalresistors each of R ohms connected in series, will the battery haveto provide more power, less power or the same? Explain your choice,include any equations that apply.
part b If instead of connecting the two resistors in series,they are connected in parallel, will the battery have to providemore power, less power or the same power as with the singleresistor? Explain your choice, include any equations thatapply.
part c If you compare the currents through each of the circuits:original circuit, part a circuit and part b circuit, will any ofthe circuits have a current larger than the other two or will theybe the same. Explain your choice, include any equations thatapply.
