When two resistors are connected in series, the total resistance is 72 ohms. When connected in parallel the equivalent resistance in 16 ohms. What are the ohmic values of each?
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.
Please provide a justification or solution.
1. When two resistors are connected in series, the total resistance is 72 ohms. When connected in parallel the equivalent resistance in 16 ohms. What are the ohmic values of each?
2. May two conductors each of the same material and equal volume have different resistances? Explain.
