Question

A resistors of 8 ohm is connected in parallel with another resistor x. The resultant resistance of the combination is 4.8 ohm. What is the value of x

Answer 1

Answer:let the other resistor be 'x'.

Equivalent resistance of two resistors connected in parallel is given by

R(equivalent)= 8*X ÷ (8+X).

Or, 4.8= 8x÷(8+X)

( 4.8)*(8+X)= 8x

38.40+4.8x= 8x

38.40=8x-4.8x

38.40=3.2x

Or, X= 38.40÷3.2

Therefore, X =12.
