2) potential difference across the combination of two resistors of 8ohm each.

Answer 1

here is your answer which you want

Answer 2

Answer:

1) Current flowing through the 4 Ω resistor = 0.5 A

2) Potential difference across the combination of two resistors of 8 Ω each = 2 V

Explanation:

1) We know that the flow of current in individual component is the same in a series circuit.

We have to calculate the current in the 4 Ω. To find the current, we use the formula:

V= IR

Let us now substitue the values given to us.

2 = I × 4

I = 0.5 A

2) We also know that in a parallel circuit, the voltage supplied by the source and the voltage at each component is the same.

The potential difference at each 8 Ω resistor is 2 V.

Conclusion:

The current at 4 Ω resistor is 0.5 A, and the potential difference at each 8 Ω resistor is 2 V.
