Expert Solution
Step 1 Equivalent resistance of a system when resistors are connected in series.
When resistors are connected in series then the total resistance of the system is equal to the sum of the resistance of all the connected resistors. There are six resistors are connected in the series of resistance ( R = 21.0 ohm ). Hence equivalent resistance of the system is,
Requivalent = 6R = 6(21.0) = 126 ohm
This is the total resistance of the system
