This problem has 3 parts.

A single resistor with resistance R ohms is connected to a battery.

part a - If the single resistor is replaced with 2 identical resistors each of R ohms connected in series, will the battery have to provide more power, less power or the same? Explain your choice, include any equations that apply.

part b If instead of connecting the two resistors in series, they are connected in parallel, will the battery have to provide more power, less power or the same power as with the single resistor? Explain your choice, include any equations that apply.

part c If you compare the currents through each of the circuits: original circuit, part a circuit and part b circuit, will any of the circuits have a current larger than the other two or will they be the same. Explain your choice, include any equations that apply.
