Answer 2

The effective resistance of the parallel combination of two resistors of 60 Ω and 40 Ω is  24Ω .

Explanation:

• Resistor is an electrical component which will resist the overflow of current, divide the voltages, etc.
• Parallel Combination of two resistors, $R_{eq} = \frac{R_{1} R_{2}}{R_{1}+ R_{2}}$
• The value of $R_{1} = 60$  , $R_{2} = 40$.
• Substituting in the value of $R_{eq}$ we get,

                                         $R_{eq} = \frac{1}{{60}+ 40}}$ $(60$×$40)$

                                         $R_{eq} = \frac{2400}{100}$

                                          $R_{eq} = 24$

• Hence the parallel combination of two resistors = 24 Ω.
