Physics: Series and Parallel resistors.
Not what you're looking for?
You have two resistors with different values. They may be combined either in series or in parallel, and that combination is then connected to a battery. Which of the following statements are true?
(T/F) to minimize the total power coming out of the battery, the resistors should be connected in parallel.
(T/F) to minimize the current through each resistor, the resistors should be connected in series
(T/F) to maximize the total current out of the battery, the resistors should be connected in parallel
(T/F) to minimize the total resistance of the circuit, the resistors should be connected in parallel
(T/F) to maximize the total voltage from the battery, the resistors should be connected in series
(T/F) to maximize the voltage across each resistor, the resistors should be connected in series
