QQuestion

What would be the equivalent resistance of a circuit containing resistances of 6 Ω and 3 Ω connected in parallel with another resistance of 1 Ω connected in series?

Exam-ready answer 01 Mark

Answer

First, calculate the equivalent resistance of the two resistors in parallel (6 Ω and 3 Ω):

The formula for parallel resistors is:

1/Rparallel = 1\over \text{R}_1 + 1\over \text{R}_2

Substituting the values:

1/Rparallel = 1\over6 + 1\over3

1/Rparallel = 1\over6 + 2\over6 = 3/6

Rparallel = 6\over3 = 2 Ω

Now, add the series resistor (1 Ω) to the equivalent resistance of the parallel resistors:

Rtotal = Rparallel + RSeries

Rtotal = 2 Ω + 1 Ω = 3 Ω

So, the total equivalent resistance is 3 Ω.
