Problem

Two resistors, R1=6 ΩR_1 = 6\,\Omega and R2=12 ΩR_2 = 12\,\Omega, are connected in series with an ideal 12 V battery. A switch S is connected in parallel with R2R_2 so that closing S completely bypasses R2R_2. Determine the equivalent resistance of the circuit (i) when S is open and (ii) when S is closed.
