Question

Establish a relationship to determine the equivalent resistance R of a combination of three resistors having resistances R₁, R₂ and R₃ connected in series. Calculate the equivalent resistance of the combination of three resistors of 2Ω, 3Ω and 6Ω joined in Parallel.

Answer 1

An applied potential V produces current I in the resistors R₁, R₂ and R₃, causing a potential drop V₁, V₂ and V₃ respectively through each resistor.

R_P=1Ω
