Two circuit schematics labelled a) and c). Diagram a) shows three identical resistors in series on one line. Diagram c) shows one resistor in series with two resistors in parallel. Printed notes list Q=IUt, Q=IRt and Q=U²/R*t.

Electric plate has three sections with equal resistivity. Those resistivities combined parallel - water boils per 6 minutes. How much time it will take to boil the same weight and same initial temperature of the water if we will combine resistivities sections like in A and C

Thanks very much
