CSEC Physics · January 2014 · Paper 2 · Question 5(b)(iii)

The power supply shown for the circuit in Figure 4 provides a current of 1 mA to the rest of the circuit.

If the 2 kΩ resistor burns out, what current now flows in the 5 kΩ resistor?

This question uses a figure or table from the paper — you'll see it when you practise.
