At a certain time, the first resistor has a resistance of 6 Ω and is increasing at a rate of 3 Ω/min, and the second resistor has a resistance of 12 Ω and is decreasing at a rate of 2 Ω/min. How is the overall resistance changing at that point in time
Ohm's law
Ohm’s law is a prominent concept in physics and electronics. It gives the relation between the current and the voltage. It is used to analyze and construct electrical circuits. Ohm's law states that the voltage across a conductor is directly proportional to the current flowing through it.
Path of Least Resistance
In a series of alternate pathways, the direction of least resistance is the actual or metaphorical route that offers the least resistance to forwarding motion by a given individual or body.
When two resistors with resistances R1 and R2 are joined in parallel, the overall resistance of the
circuit R can be found using the formula
R1 = R1 + R1
