A common saying about electricity is that t always takes the path of least resistance." Explain how this proverb relates to the following circuit, where electric current from the battery encounters two alternate paths, one being less resistive than the other:

Q.13
One of the fundamental equations used in electricity and electronics is Ohm's Law: the relationship between voltage (E or V, measured in units of volts), current (I, measured in units of amperes), and resistance (R, measured in units of ohms):

Where, E = Voltage in units of volts (V) I = Current in units of amps (A) R = Resistance in units of ohms () Solve for the unknown quantity (E, I, or R) given the other two, and express your answer in both scientific and metric notations: I = 20 mA, R = 5 k; E= I = 150 A, R = 47 k; E= E = 24 V, R = 3.3 M; I= E = 7.2 kV, R = 900 ; I= E = 1.02 mV, I = 40 A; R= E = 3.5 GV, I = 0.76 kA; R= I = 0.00035 A, R = 5350 ; E= I = 1,710,000 A, R = 0.002 ; E= E = 477 V, R = 0.00500 ; I= E = 0.02 V, R = 992,000 ; I= E = 150,000 V, I = 233 A; R= E = 0.0000084 V, I = 0.011 A; R=
