Let’s connect two blocks end to end.I If the resistance of one block is 6 Ω, what is the
resistance of both blocks together?I If the current through one block is 2 A, what is the
current through the second block? through bothblocks?
I If the voltage across one block is 3 V, what is thevoltage across the second block? across both blockstogether?
