Example

Problem: The figure shows two circuits. The two batteries are identical and the four resistors all have exactly the same resistance. Rank in order the five currents, I1 to I2. 

FREE Expert Solution

In the first circuit, I1 = I2 because there is only one resistor as the component in the circuit.

For the second circuit, I3 = I1 = I2
