What is the formula for the equivalent resistance of two resistors R1 and R2 in series?
Correct Answer: R_eq = R1 + R2
- Step 1: Identify the two resistors you have, which are R1 and R2.
- Step 2: Understand that when resistors are in series, the total resistance increases.
- Step 3: To find the equivalent resistance, you need to add the values of R1 and R2 together.
- Step 4: Write the formula for equivalent resistance as R_eq = R1 + R2.
- Step 5: If you have specific values for R1 and R2, plug them into the formula to calculate R_eq.
