Question 436Electricity & Electronics - Assistant Engineer
70% to passWhat is the total resistance of the electrical circuit illustrated in figure "B" if the resistance of R1 is 2 ohms, R2 is 4 ohms, and R3 is 4 ohms and the battery voltage is 6 volts? Illustration EL-0019
A0.01 ohms
B0.10 ohms
C1.00 ohms
D10.00 ohms
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 1.00 ohms. To calculate the total resistance of the circuit, we can use the formula for resistors in parallel: 1/Rtotal = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 Plugging in the values, we get: 1/Rtotal = 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/4 = 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 1 Rtotal = 1 ohm The other options are incorrect because: A) 0.01 ohms is too low for the given resistor values. B) 0.10 ohms is too low for the given resistor values. D) 10.00 ohms is too high for the given resistor values.
