Question

two resistors are in series total resistance has been measured has four ohm and one of the resistor is known 2 ohm more than square of the other what are the values of two resistors​

Answer 1

Answer:

r1=1 and r2=3

r1+r2=4

r2=2+r1^2

4-r1=r1^2+2

on solving by middle term factorisation,

(r1+2)(r1-1)

negative value is not possible

so r1=1 and r2=3
