10.2 Exercise 2

Avg difficulty 2.5

Consider the same potential difference (V=3.00V)\left(V = 3.00 \text{V}\right) applied to the same three resistors connected in series. Would the equivalent resistance of the series circuit be higher, lower, or equal to the three resistor in parallel? Would the current through the series circuit be higher, lower, or equal to the current provided by the same voltage applied to the parallel circuit? How would the power dissipated by the resistor in series compare to the power dissipated by the resistors in parallel?
