Consider the network of resistors shown in the following figure. R₁ www Answer qualitatively: R₂ www R3 RA (a) What happens to the voltage across each resistor when the switch S is closed? (b) What happens to the current through each resistor when the switch is closed? (c) What happens to the power output of the battery when the switch is closed? (d) Let R₁ = R₂ = R₁ = R₁ = R₂ = 125 Q and V=22.0 V. Determiner the current through each resistor before and after closing the switch. Are your qualitative predictions confirmed?
