Problem

Two resistors of 4 Ω4\,\Omega and 6 Ω6\,\Omega are connected in parallel. This parallel combination is connected in series with a 3 Ω3\,\Omega resistor and a cell of emf 12 V12\,\text{V} having negligible internal resistance. (a) Draw a neat labelled circuit diagram showing the arrangement. (b) Calculate the equivalent resistance of the entire circuit. (c) Determine the current supplied by the cell.
