Question

The resistors of values 6 on, 6 ohm are connected in series and 12 ohm is connected in parallel. The equivalent resistance of circuit is

Answer 1

Answer:

R = 6 ohm

Explanation:

R1 = 6 ohm

R2 = 6 ohm

R3 = 12 ohm

R1 and R2 are in series

so, R (effective) = R1 + R2

= 6+6 = 12 ohm

R (effective) and R3 are in parallel

so, total resistance = (R (effective) × R3) ÷ R (eff.) + R3

= 12×12/12+12

= 144/24

= 6 ohm
