Explanation:

At higher temperature, the atoms are moving more rapidly and are arranged in a less orderly way. Therefore it is expected that these fast moving atoms are more likely to interfere with the flow of electrons. If there is more interference in the flow of electrons, then there is a higher resistivity.

Explanation:

Resistors are in parallel when the electric current passes through two or more branches or connected parts at the same time before it combines again. After the current leaves the battery it travels to. Then the current splits and travels between the other two resistors before the current coming back together and connecting back to the battery.

Explanation:

Adding resistors in parallel decrease the overall equivalent resistance as they are added using the equation

Since the overall equivalent resistance is decreased, if the voltage is constant the overall current would increase.

Therefore

This shows the inverse relationship between the two values.

Explanation:

As we examine the circuit we first come across the first two resistors. These resistors are in parallel. In parallel circuits, the current splits to go down each branch. In this case, the resistors are of equal value meaning that the current is split evenly between the two.

We then come across another parallel branch with two resistors on one side and a single resistor on the other side. The two resistors in series add up to create more resistance on the top branch. The single resistor on its own has less resistance.

Since current always chooses the path of least resistance, more current will flow through the single resistor, than through the branch with two resistors in series.

Therefore,would have the greatest resistance flowing through it.

Explanation:

To begin, let us start with theresistor and theresistor that are in parallel. In parallel we can add resistors through the equation

This new resistor is now in series with the tworesistors. In series we can just add these resistors up.

This new resistor is now in parallel with theresistor. In parallel we can add resistors through the equation

This new resistor is now in series with theandresistor. In series we can just add these resistors up.

Now that we have the equivalent resistance of the circuit. We can now determine the current flowing out of the battery.

Rearrange to solve for current.

One of the best ways to work through a problem like this is to create a V= IR chart for all the components of the circuit.

We know that the current that is flowing out of the battery is the current that is flowing through both by 5 and 3 Ohm resistors since all of these are in series. So we can put this information into our chart.

Using Ohm’s Law we can determine the voltage for each of these two resistors.

We can now use Ohm’s law and our voltage to determine the current going through the 14 Ohm resistor.

Next we can analyze the current in the Junction between the 5, 14 and 4 Ohm resistors. Kirchoff’s laws state that the sum of the current flowing in and out of junction must equal 0.

We haveflowing in from theresistor andflowing out to go through theresistor.

So the current going through the 4 Ohm resistor is 3 amps. This will be the same for both 4 ohm resistors as both have the same current going into and out of the junctions near them. We can then use this to determine the voltage drop across each of the resistors.

Now let’s add this to our chart.

We can now use Kirchoff’s loop law to determine the voltage across the 10 Ohm resistor. Let’s analyze the loop that goes from the 5, to the 4 to the 10 back through the 4 and then through 3 Ohm resistor.

We can now use Ohm’s Law to determine the current through the 10 Ohm resistor.

We can now add this information to our chart.

Next we can analyze the current in the Junction between the 5, 14 and 4 Ohm resistors. Kirchoff’s laws state that the sum of the current flowing in and out of the junction must equal 0.

We have 4A flowing in from the 5 Ohm resistor and 1A flowing out to go through the 14 Ohm resistor.

So the current going through the 4 Ohm resistor is 3 amps. This will be the same for both 4 ohm resistors as both have the same current going into and out of the junctions near them. We can then use this to determine the voltage drop across each of the resistors.

Now let’s add this to our chart.

We can now analyze the junction between the 4, 10 and 15 Ohm resistor.

Kirchoff’s laws state that the sum of the current flowing in and out of the junction must equal 0.

We have 2A flowing in from the 4 Ohm resistor and 1.2A flowing out to go through the 10 Ohm resistor.

Explanation:

To begin we need to simplify the circuit to get the equivalent resistance. Let’s start with the 3 and 6 Ohm resistors in parallel.

Now we can add this resistor to the 4 Ohm resistor as they are in series.

We can now determine the current coming out of the battery using Ohm’s Law.

Rearrange to solve for current.

The current coming out of the battery will be the same current that moves through the 4 Ohm resistor. So we can determine the voltage drop across the 4 ohm resistor.

We can then use Kirchoff’s loop law to determine the voltage drop across the 6 Ohm resistor. Let’s analyze the loop that goes from the battery to the 4 ohm resistor and through the 6 ohm resistor.

The current coming out of the battery will be the same current that moves through the 4 Ohm resistor. So we can determine the voltage drop across the 4 ohm resistor.

Explanation:

Kirchoff’s loop rules states the sum of the current going into and out of the junction must equal 0. In other words, the current going in must equal the current going on. Current is a measure of the flow of charge. Therefore, this law is conservation of charge as the number of electrons going into a junction must equal the number of electrons flowing out.
