Question

Three resistors 4 Ω, 2 Ω and 10 Ω are connected in series in electric circuit. The equivalent resistance of the circuit is ______

solve it correctly​

Answer 1

Answer:

The equivalent resistance of the circuit is 16 Ω.

Explanation:

If many resistors of resistance R₁, R₂, R₃,.... are connected in a series manner the equivalent resistance can be found using the equation,

R = R₁ + R₂ + R₃ + ... + Rₙ

Here we have 3 resistors R₁, R₂, and R₃ connected in a series manner.

R₁ = 4 Ω

R₂ = 2 Ω

R₃ = 10 Ω

∴ R = R₁ + R₂ + R₃

     = 4 + 2 + 10

  R = 16 Ω
