Physics

Two resistors of exactly the same resistance are hooked inseries to a power supply and the total current:Itot(series) is measured. The same two resistors arethen connected to the same power supply in parallel. The totalparallel current is related to the total series current through therelationship:

Select one:

a. Itot(parallel) = 1/4 × Itot(series)

b. Itot(parallel) = 1/2 × Itot(series)

c. Itot(parallel) = 2 × Itot(series)

d. Itot(parallel) = 8 × Itot(series)

e. Itot(parallel) = 1/8 × Itot(series)

f. Itot(parallel) = 4 × Itot(series)

g. Itot(parallel) = Itot(series)
