Answer:
The resistance of the circuit is 7.5 Ω
Explanation:
To know :
- When resistors of resistances R₁ , R₂ , R₃ .... are connected in series, the equivalent resistance is given by
R = R₁ + R₂ + R₃ + ...
- When resistors of resistances R₁ , R₂ , R₃ .... are connected in parallel, the equivalent resistance is given by
1/R = 1/R₁ + 1/R₂ + 1/R₃ + ...
Solution :
[Refer to the attachment]
R₁ , R₂ , R₃ are connected in series as same current flows through the resistors.
Let R₁₂₃ be the equivalent resistance of the three resistors in series.
R₁₂₃ = R₁ + R₂ + R₃
R₁₂₃ = 10 Ω + 10 Ω + 10 Ω
R₁₂₃ = 30 Ω
R₁₂₃ and R₄ are connected in parallel.
Let R₁₂₃₄ be the equivalent resistance.
1/R₁₂₃₄ = 1/R₁₂₃ + 1/R₄
1/R₁₂₃₄ = 1/30 + 1/10
1/R₁₂₃₄= (1+3)/30
1/R₁₂₃₄ = 4/30
R₁₂₃₄ = 30/4
R₁₂₃₄ = 7.5 Ω
Therefore, the resistance of the circuit is 7.5 Ω
