Analyze the inconsistency in the provided circuit diagram, specifically regarding the voltage across parallel resistors and the total current.

Here are the solutions for questions 4 and 5 from your image.

QUESTION 4

• Note on inconsistency: The circuit diagram presents an inconsistency. If the $2 \text{ Ω}$ and $3 \text{ Ω}$ resistors are in parallel, their voltages must be equal. The diagram shows $V_1 = 5 \text{ V}$ across the $2 \text{ Ω}$ resistor. This implies $V_2$ across the $3 \text{ Ω}$ resistor should also be $5 \text{ V}$. However, if the total current from the battery is $6 \text{ A}$ (as indicated by the ammeter '6A'), and the current through the $2
