For items 9 & 10, refer to the diagram below: Two resistors are connected as
shown below. Their resistance ratings are R1 = 30 and R2 = 120.
resistor 1
resistor 2
9) Which resistor will have higher current that passes through it? *
Neither of the two
R1
R2
10) Assume that each resistor represents the resistance of a light bulb.
What will happen to resistor 2 if resistor 1 gets busted?
resistor 2 will still function with the same brightness as before.
resistor 2 will still function and it will shine brighter.
resistor 2 will still function but it will shine dimmer.
resistor 2 will not function as well.
l(a) <l(b) <1(c)
O l(a) > 1(b) > 1(c)
l(a)>l(b) <1(c)
O 1(a) = 1(b) = 1(c)
11) Three resistors (a), (b) and (c) are connected in series. Their resistance
can be compared as follows: R(a) < R(b) < R(c). How does the current
passing through resistors (a), (b), and (c) compare to each other?
