"Two 40 ohm resistors connected in parallel and three 40 ohm resistors in parallel are then connected in series to a potential difference source of 320 volts."
Draw the schematic diagram of the circuit.
Does this mean that the 5 resistors are changed into series because of the words "are then" o-o? I am not sure. o_o

YES! SO I DID IT RIGHT AFTERALL O-o
I'm an aspiring Electrical engineer~-
in the circuit, you'll have three stuff connected in series.
the first stuff is the parallel combination of two resistors
the second stuff is the parallel combination of three resistors
the third stuff is the voltage source
edit: yea, that ^ (at post above)
fixed

1) system consisting of two resistors in parallel, 2) system consisting of three resistors in parallel
1) and 2) are in series

That was my first assumption but it seems too easy. o__o I don't know...
From what I can make of it, it's 5 resistors in total with 3 of them being in a series and the other 2 being parallel to them.
draw two resistors in parallel, then draw three in parallel then connect them in series. It doesn't sound complicated.
