To solve the problem, we will calculate the current flowing through the resistance coils A and B in three different configurations: separately, in series, and in parallel. ### Given Data: - Voltage (V) = 220 V - Resistance of each coil (R_A and R_B) = 24 Ω ### Case 1: Coils A and B Connected Separately When the coils are connected separately, the current through each coil can be calculated using Ohm's Law: ...
