V = I R
V = 2 (3)
V = 6
Water is a good ____ of electricity
conductor
A _____ is any path along which electrons can flow
Circuit
What is the resistance in a circuit that has two 20 ohm resistors in series
20 + 20
40 ohms
What is the resistance in a circuit that has two 20 ohm resistors in parallel
1/20 + 1/20
2/20 = 20/2 = 10 ohms
