Question

Two resistors of resistances 8 ohm, 16 ohm, and respectively are connected in parallel in a circuit
What is the effective resistance of the parallel combination of the resistors?​

Answer 1

Answer:

16/3=5.33

Explanation:

1/8+1/16=1/r

2+1/16=r

r=16/3

=5.33

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

1/R = 1/R1 +1/R2

R1=8 ohm and R2=16 ohm

∴1/R=1/8 +1/16

  1/R=(2+1)/16

  1/R=3/16

∴R=16/3ohm

R=5.33 ohm
