Answer:

  A1 = 3A, A2 = 1.5A

  Effective resistance = 2Ω

Explanation:

When the switch is closed, the voltage across each resistor is 6V, so the current through it (A2) is ...

  A2 = 6V/(4Ω) = 1.5A

There are two parallel paths, each with that current, so the current from the battery is ...

  A1 = A2 +A2 = 1.5A +1.5A = 3.0A

Then the effective resistance is ...

  Reff = 6V/(3.0A) = 2.0Ω

The solution to the circuit is ...

  A1 = 3A, A2 = 1.5A

  Effective resistance = 2Ω
