Question

If two resistances x and y when connected in series their equivalent resistance is 12 Ω but
when connected in parallel equivalent resistance is 4Ω. Find x and y?

Answer 1

Answer:

Since there is only one path for the charges to flow through, the current is the same through each resistor. The equivalent resistance of a set of resistors in a series connection is equal to the algebraic sum of the individual resistances. (a) Three resistors connected in series to a voltage source.
