A student connects a battery, a switch, and two resistors in a circuit such that there is only one continuous path for the electric current to flow.
Give the name for this type of circuit connection.
The two resistors have resistances of 12.0 Ω12.0\ \Omega12.0 Ω and 18.0 Ω18.0\ \Omega18.0 Ω respectively. Calculate the combined total resistance of these two resistors.
The battery provides a potential difference of 9.0 V9.0\text{ V}9.0 V across the series combination. Calculate the current flowing through each resistor when the switch is closed.
