A series circuit contains three resistors of 2Ω, 3Ω, and 5Ω. Calculate the total voltage needed for a 2A current to flow through this circuit.
💡 Hint: Use Ohm's Law, V = I * R after finding total resistance.
In a parallel circuit with a power supply of 10V and three resistors: 5Ω, 10Ω, and 15Ω. Determine the total current flowing from the power supply.
💡 Hint: Calculate total resistance first using the parallel formula before applying Ohm's Law.
