Calculate the power used in the 2 ohm resistor in each of the following circuits: 1) a 4V battery in parallel with 12 ohm and 2ohm resistors. 2) a 6 V battery in series with 1 ohm and 2 ohm resistors. Solution:Potential difference () = 6 V equivalent resistance of the circuit (R) = 1 +B2=30 V=IR Or l=V/R= 6/3=2A the current through the circuit (I)=2A
