Question 26
H

Two identical 6.0 Ω resistors are connected side by side between the same two points in a circuit. What is the resistance of the combination, and how does the current from the supply compare with the current when only one resistor is used?

[1]
A

12 Ω12\ \Omega12 Ω, and the current from the supply is halved

B

12 Ω12\ \Omega12 Ω, and the current from the supply is doubled

C

3.0 Ω3.0\ \Omega3.0 Ω, and the current from the supply is halved

D

3.0 Ω3.0\ \Omega3.0 Ω, and the current from the supply is doubled
