Question
In the diagrams, resistors R1 and R2 are shown in two different connections to the same source of emf E that has no internal resistance.
How does the power dissipated by the resis- tors in these two cases compare?
1. It is different for each connection, but one must know the values of R1 and R2 to know which is greater.
2. It is the same for both connections
3. It is greater for the parallel connection. 4. It is greater for the series connection.
5. It is different for each connection, but one must know the values of E to know which is greater.
