A piece of copper wire of resistance r is cut into 10 equal parts these parts are connected in parallel
Answers
I’m sure there is some application of Kirchhoff's laws that can be used to solve this but I’ll just use basic resistance formulas for the solution. I am assuming the fourth resistor is connected in series with the other three. Each resistor is 8 ohms. The sum of 3 parallel resistances are (1/R1) + 1/(R2) + (1/R3) = 1/Rtotal. The three parallel resistances total resistance are 3 x(1/8) = 1/Rtotal. Solving for Rtotal you get 2.7 ohms. Connecting that in series with the 4th, 8 ohm resistor gives you a total resistance of 10.7 ohms, unless of course I am misinterpreting the problem.
