Parallel vs. Series....HELP!
1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
When two resistors are connected in parallel across a battery of unknown voltage, one resistor carries a current of 4.3 A while the second carries a current of 3 A. What current will be supplied bu the same battery if these two resistors are connected to it in series? 2. Relevant equations 3. The attempt at a solution I need help getting started.... |

In series the amps are the same throughout every resistor. In parallel the amps all add up to a total amperage. I'm pretty sure I know how to do it..see if you can figure out the rest.
