Question

You are given two resistors of 3 Ω and 6 Ω, respectively. Combining these two resistors what other resistances can you obtain?

Answer 1

Answer:

in series 9 ohms

in parellel 0.5 ohms

Explanation:

series is. 3+6

parellel is. 1/3+1/6

Answer 2

If two resistors of 3 Ω and 6 Ω, respectively are combined in a circuit, the various values of final resistance that can be obtained are 9 Ω and 2 Ω.

If we combine the given resistances in different combinations, we can obtain either a series result, or a parallel result. The series result of the resistance is obtained by simply adding up the individual resistances. Thus, the first combination gives us 9 Ω. On the other hand, using parallel combination, and applying the harmonic formula summation of the two given resistances, we obtain that the second combination gives us a resistance of 2 Ω.
