Two resistors of exactly the same resistance are hooked in series to a power supply and the total current: Itot(series) is measured. The same two resistors are then connected to the same power supply in parallel. The total parallel current is related to the total series current through the relationship:
Select one:
a. Itot(parallel) = 1/4 × Itot(series)
b. Itot(parallel) = 1/2 × Itot(series)
c. Itot(parallel) = 2 × Itot(series)
d. Itot(parallel) = 8 × Itot(series)
e. Itot(parallel) = 1/8 × Itot(series)
f. Itot(parallel) = 4 × Itot(series)
g. Itot(parallel) = Itot(series)
