🔍 Key Concepts

• Series vs. parallel circuits – look for branches or separate current paths in figure B. • In a series circuit, current is the same through all components and the total resistance is the sum of the resistors. • In a parallel circuit, voltage is the same across all branches and the reciprocal formula 1/Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 applies.

💭 Think About

• Trace the path of current from the source Es in figure B: does it ever split into more than one path before returning to the source? • If you placed a voltmeter across each resistor (R1, R2, R3), would each meter be connected to the same two nodes, or to different points along the loop? • Think about which formula for total resistance would make sense based on whether there is only one path for current or multiple paths.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify whether there are any junctions or branch points in the circuit where current could divide; this determines series vs parallel. • Check if each resistor shares the exact same two connection points (nodes). If yes, they’re parallel; if not, they’re in series along the path. • Confirm which statement about total resistance matches a single‑path (series) circuit and which matches a multi‑path (parallel) circuit.

Question 1 of 20

Which of the following statements is correct for the illustrated circuit in figure "B"? Illustration EL-0020

"R1", "R2", and "R3" are connected in parallel.

The voltages measured across "R1", "R2", and "R3" are equal.

"R1", "R2", and "R3" are connected in series.

The total resistance equals 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3.
