Question

Two resistors have resistance
8 ohm and 6 ohm are connected
in series across cell. what
is equivant resistance​

Answer 1

Answer:

The equivalent resistance of resistors in series is: Req = R1 + R2 + R3 + ... The single equivalent resistor has the same current through it as each resistor in the series circuit, and the potential difference across it equals the total potential difference across the whole chain of resistors.

Answer 2

Answer:

the combined resistance of two in parallel is ... product / sum

resistors in parallel have the same voltage drop

the 6/8 combo ... (6 * 8) / (6 + 8) = 48 / 14 = 24 / 7

... voltage = 15 * 24/7

the 5/2 combo ... (5 * 2) / (5 + 2) = 10 / 7

... voltage = 15 * 10/7
