(a) $\begin{array}{c}{R}_{\text{s}}=R_1+R_2\\ \Rightarrow R_{\text{s}}\approx R_1\left(R_1\text{>>}{R}_2\right)\end{array}$

(b) $\frac{1}{R_{\mathrm{p}}}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}=\frac{R_1+R_2}{R_1{R}_2}$,

so that

$\begin{array}{c}{R}_{\mathrm{p}}=\frac{R_1{R}_2}{R_1+R_2}\approx \frac{R_1{R}_2}{R_1}=R_2\left(R_1\text{>>}{R}_2\right)\text{.}\end{array}$

(c) Series resistance is said to be less than one of the resistors, but it must be greater than any of the resistors.

(a) –0.120 V

(b) $-1\text{.}\text{41}\times {\text{10}}^{-2}\Omega$

(c) Negative terminal voltage; negative load resistance.

(d) The assumption that such a cell could provide 8.50 A is inconsistent with its internal resistance.

(c) ${\text{I}}_3=8\text{.}\text{25 A}$

(a) No, you would get inconsistent equations to solve.

(b) You can’t have negative resistance.

(c) It is unreasonable that $I_{\mathrm{G}}$ is greater than $I_{\text{tot}}$ (see Figure 21.30). You cannot achieve a full-scale deflection using a current less than the sensitivity of the galvanometer.

(d) In the parallel case current passes through each branch, so more current is passed through the resistor system. In the series, the higher resistance of the circuit allows less current to flow. $P=IV$ is proportional to the current when the voltage does not change.

(e) The parallel combination delivers more energy in a given time period.
