Show how you would connect two 4 ohm resistors to produce a combined resistance of (a) 2 ohms (b) 8 ohms.
Which of the following arrangement, A or B, has the lower combined resistance?

A resistor has a resistance of 176 ohms. How many of these resistors should be connected in parallel so that their combination draws a current of 5 amperes from a 220 volt supply line?
An electric heater which is connected to a 220 V supply line has two resistance coils A and B of 24 Ω resistance each. These coils can be used separately (one at a time), in series or in parallel. Calculate the current drawn when:
(a) only one coil A is used.
(b) coils A and B are used in series.
(c) coils A and B are uses in parallel.

In the figure below, the ammeter A reads 0.3 A. Calculate:
(i) the total resistance of the circuit
(ii) the value of R
(iii) the current flowing through R.

Assertion: When a battery is short circuited, the terminal voltage is zero.
Reason: In a short circuit, the current is zero.
