Chapter 23, Problem 4STP

To determine

To Choose: The correct option.

Answer to Problem 4STP

Option D

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Value of resistance, $R_1=1.0\Omega$

Value of resistance, $R_2=3.0\Omega$

Value of resistance, $R_3=5.0\Omega$

Value of resistance, $R_4=4.0\Omega$

Voltage of battery, $V=9.0\text{V}$

Formula used:

Equivalent resistance for series combination can be obtained by:

  $R_{eq}=R_1+R_2+R_3+\mathrm{...}$

Calculations:

  $\begin{array}{c}{R}_{eq}=1.0+3.0+5.0+4.0\\ =13\Omega \end{array}$

Conclusion:

Thus, the option D is correct.
