Question
Transcribed Image Text:Resistors R, and R, have an equivalent resis-
tance of 6 ohms when connected in the circuit
shown below.
R1
R2
Which of the following COULD be a resistance value for R1?
8 Ohms
1 Ohm
3 Ohms
5 Ohms
Expert Solution
Step 1
Given that,
Equivalent resistance, Req = 6
let the resistance of R1 be R1
let the resistance of R2 be R2
From the given circuit, we can see that
R1 and R2 are in parallel.
