Click For Summary

The discussion revolves around identifying which resistors in a provided circuit diagram are in parallel and which are in series. Participants emphasize the importance of understanding the configuration of resistors to solve circuit problems effectively. Key indicators for determining series and parallel arrangements include the paths of current flow and the connections between resistors. Clarification on these concepts is crucial for accurately calculating total resistance. Understanding these principles will aid in resolving similar circuit issues in the future.

[SOLVED] Trouble with Circuits

I've got a certain problem that I feel I know how to solve, but I am having trouble deciding which resistors are in parallel and which are in series. Can anyone please tell me which resistors on this diagram are in parallel and which are in series, and how to definitively tell?

Thread 'What is the pressure of trapped air inside this tube?'

As you can see from the picture, i have an uneven U-shaped tube, sealed at the short end. I fill the tube with water and i seal it. So the short side is filled with water and the long side ends up containg water and trapped air. Now the tube is sealed on both sides and i turn it in such a way that the traped air moves at the short side. Are my claims about pressure in senarios A & B correct? What is the pressure for all points in senario C? (My question is basically coming from watching...
