Question
Find the equivalent resistance of the combination of resistors shown in the figure below. (R1 = 2.12 µΩ, R2 = 17.6 µΩ.) µΩ
![**Educational Content: Understanding Equivalent Resistance in Complex Circuits**
---
**Problem Statement:**
Find the equivalent resistance of the combination of resistors shown in the figure below.
- \( R_1 = 2.12 \, \mu\Omega \)
- \( R_2 = 17.6 \, \mu\Omega \)
The incorrect answer provided is \( 6.30 \, \mu\Omega \).
*Guiding Questions:*
- Did you break the circuit into simpler combinations of series and parallel resistors?
- Did you draw a reduced diagram after each calculation?
**Diagram Description:**
The diagram shows a complex circuit with the following resistors:
- Top left: \( R_1 = 2.12 \, \mu\Omega \).
- Middle vertical: \( 8.00 \, \mu\Omega \).
- Top right horizontal: \( 1.50 \, \mu\Omega \).
- Bottom vertical: \( 0.75 \, \mu\Omega \).
- Bottom horizontal (right): \( R_2 = 17.6 \, \mu\Omega \).
- Bottom left: \( 3.50 \, \mu\Omega \).
**Circuit Analysis Tips:**
1. **Identify Series and Parallel Combinations:**
- Begin by identifying which resistors are in series and which are in parallel, and simplify these combinations step by step.
2. **Resistors in Series:**
- Add their resistances directly.
- Example: If \( R_a \) and \( R_b \) are in series, \( R_{\text{series}} = R_a + R_b \).
3. **Resistors in Parallel:**
- Use the formula for parallel resistors:
\[ \frac{1}{R_{\text{parallel}}} = \frac{1}{R_a} + \frac{1}{R_b} + \ldots \]
4. **Iterate Until Fully Simplified:**
- Continue simplifying until you reach the total equivalent resistance.
- Validate each step with reduced diagrams for clarity.
**Note:** Ensuring an accurate understanding of where resistors are connected in the circuit is crucial for correctly calculating equivalent resistance.
