Which circuit diagram represents the correct way to measure the current in a resistor?
A 3-ohm resistor and a 6-ohm resistor are connected in parallel across a 9-volt battery. Which statement best compares the potential difference across each resistor?
The potential difference across the 6-ohm resistor is four times as great as the potential difference across the 3-ohm resistor.
The potential difference across the 6-ohm resistor is half as great as the potential difference across the 3-ohm resistor.
The potential difference across the 6-ohm resistor is the same as the potential difference across the 3-ohm resistor.
The potential difference across the 6-ohm resistor is twice as great as the potential difference across the 3-ohm resistor.
A 3.0-ohm resistor and a 6.0-ohm resistor are connected in series in an operating electric circuit. If the current through the 3.0-ohm resistor is 4.0 amperes, what is the potential difference across the 6.0-ohm resistor?
