1. All of the first five questions on this quiz deal with the circuit illustrated in the accompanying diagram. The battery voltage is 93.9 V, and the resistances are R1 = 172 Ohms; R2 = 126 Ohms; R3 = 75 Ohms; R4 = 63 Ohms; R5 = 199 Ohms; and R6 = 128 Ohms. What is the equivalent resistance of this circuit?

351 Ohms

494 Ohms

260 Ohms

655 Ohms

The image depicts an electrical circuit diagram with the following components: 1. **Voltage Source (V):** Located on the left side of the circuit, supplying voltage to the circuit. 2. **Resistors (R1 to R6):** - **R1** and **R2** are arranged in series with the voltage source. - **R3** branches off from the main circuit path, creating a parallel connection with series combinations. - **R4** and **R5** are in parallel with each other and are collectively in series with **R6**. ### Circuit Breakdown: - **Series Components:** - **R1** is in series with **R2**, and this combination feeds into the parallel branch. - **Parallel Components:** - **R4** is parallel to **R5**. This parallel combination is placed in series with **R6**. - **Parallel and Series Combination:** - The path with **R3** runs parallel to the path containing the series-parallel combination of **R4**, **R5**, and **R6**. This circuit is a mix of series and parallel arrangements, which influences the overall resistance and current distribution. Understanding how these resistors combine will aid in calculating equivalent resistance, current through each branch, and voltage drops using Ohm's and Kirchhoff's laws.
