    What's the current from this circuit? Is it a short circuit or not?

    Homework Statement Pic A, what's the I2? Pic B, what's the current across a-b ? Homework Equations V = I*R Voltage in series is different, the current is the same Current in parallel is different, the voltage is the same The Attempt at a Solution from Pic A, I found that I1 = 1A, I3 = 1A...

    Why is there no current in a parallel branch of a short.

    its a simple circuit one branch has a resistor and its in parallel with a short i understand that the short branch has no resistance other than the wire itself which means it has super small resistance and by ohm's law I = V/R where the voltage is divided by a super small value means the...

    From practice (pls don't call police), I know that it is much easier to knock down short people. A tall person of equal mass is more difficult to knock down on the floor. Theoretically, the taller person should be easier because there's this whole center of gravity thing. But in practice, one...
