In order to perform an experiment on electric circuits, a student has to use a 6-ohm resistor, but finds that the laboratory already ran out of 6-ohm resistors. They find a large amount of 9-ohm resistors though. What should they do to get exactly 6 ohms? 1. Take nine 9-ohm resistors. 2. Connect three 9-ohm resistors in series. 3. Connect this series connection and all the remaining six in parallel. 1. Take six 9-ohm resistors. B 2. Connect three 9-ohm resistors in parallel and do the same for the remaining three. 3. Connect the two parallel combinations in series. 1. Take four 9-ohm resistors. 2. Connect two of the four 9-ohm resistors in parallel. 3. Connect the parallel combination in series with the third 9-ohm resistor. 4. Connect the series connection in parallel with the last 9-ohm resistor. The answer cannot be found on the other choices.
