    Resistance

    R = R1 * R2 / (R1 + R2)

    R1 = 2

    R2 = 4

    R = 2*4 / (2 + 4)

    R = 8 / 6

    R = 1.3333

    Current R1

    R1 = 2 ohms

    V = 12 volts

    I = ?

    V = I * R

    12 = I * 2

    12/2 = I

    I = 6 amperes.

    Current R2

    V = 12 volts

    R = 4 ohms

    I = ?

    V = I * R

    12 = I * 4

    12/4 = I

    I = 3 amps
