Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the equivalent resistance of three resistors of 2Ω, 3Ω, and 6Ω connected in parallel?
Correct Answer: 1Ω
  • Step 1: Identify the resistors and their values. We have three resistors: R1 = 2Ω, R2 = 3Ω, and R3 = 6Ω.
  • Step 2: Write the formula for equivalent resistance (R_eq) for resistors in parallel: 1/R_eq = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3.
  • Step 3: Substitute the values of the resistors into the formula: 1/R_eq = 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/6.
  • Step 4: Calculate each term: 1/2 = 0.5, 1/3 ≈ 0.333, and 1/6 ≈ 0.167.
  • Step 5: Add the values together: 0.5 + 0.333 + 0.167 = 1.
  • Step 6: Since 1/R_eq = 1, we can find R_eq by taking the reciprocal: R_eq = 1Ω.
