Question

The picture shows a battery connected to two wires in parallel. Both wires are made of the same material and are of the same length, but the diameter of wire A is twice the diameter of wire B. (For each statement select T True, F False). The current through the battery is five times larger than the current through wire B. The voltage drop across wire B is larger than the voltage drop across wire A. The resistance of wire B is four times as large as the resistance of wire A. The resistance of wire B is twice as large as the resistance of wire A. The power dissipated in wire A is 16 times the power dissipated in wire B.
