Question

Question 22
Draw a circuit diagram of an electric circuit containing a cell, a key, an ammeter, a resistor of 2 $\Omega$ in series with a combination of two resistors (4 $\Omega$ each) in parallel and a voltmeter across the parallel combination. Will the potential difference across the 2 $\Omega$ resistors be the same as that across the parallel combination of 4$\Omega$ resistors? Give reason.

Answer 1

Yes, the potential difference across the 2 $\Omega$ resistors will be the same as that across the parallel combination of 4$\Omega$ resistors because resultant resistance of the parallel combination is also 2 ohm.
