Answer:
black will be hotter because black paint absorbs light and white reflects it.
In series circuit, Req = R₁ + R₂ + R₃ + ···
In parallel circuit, 
<h3>Q7.</h3>
total resistance in the upper branch = R₂ + R₃ = R₂ + 2


R₂ + 2 = 12
R₂ = 10Ω
<h3>Q8.</h3>


Req = 1.7Ω
This is a conservation of momentum problem! Here's how to do it:
