Resistance-potential difference in electrical circuit


The left diagram below describes two resistors in series with an ideal battery, in the diagram on the right; a third resistor has been added in the parallel with R2. The three resistors show all have similar resistance of 5 ohms each. The emf is similar in both the diagrams and is 10 volts.
