Homework # 24 - Parallel Circuits Three resistors, a 12 0, a 3 2, and a 4 2 are connected in parallel to a 6.0 V battery. 1. Draw the circuit. 2. Find the total resistance of the circuit. 3. What is the total current flowing through the circuit? 4. How much current flows through the 3 2 resistor? 5. What happens to the current flowing through the 3 2 resistor if the 4 2 resistor is removed from the circuit? Explain. 6. A 2 Q resistor is now connected in parallel to the circuit. Explain why the total resistance of the circuit decreases to a value less than 2 Q. 7. Compare the total resistance of a 5-2 resistor and a 20- resistor connected in parallel with their total resistance connected in series
