Question 2

If three resistors, $R_1 = 4 \, \Omega$, $R_2 = 6 \, \Omega$, and $R_3 = 12 \, \Omega$, are connected in parallel, what is the equivalent resistance?

Question 3

According to Kirchhoff's Voltage Law, what does the sum of the potential differences around a closed loop in a circuit equal?

Question 4

In a series circuit, if the total voltage is $12 \, V$ and there are three resistors with equal resistance $R$, what is the voltage across each resistor if the resistors have a value of $R = 4 \, \Omega$?
