QQuestion
If two conductor wires of resistances 6 ohms and 4 ohms are connected in parallel combination, what will be the equivalent resistance of the combination?
✓Answer
For parallel Combination: {1\over R_{eq}} = {1\over R_1} + {1\over R_2}
or, {1\over R_{eq}} = {1\over 6} + {1\over 4}
or, {1\over R_{eq}} = {2 + 3\over 12}
or, Req = 2.4 Ω
