Chapter 6, Problem 1RP

Five resistors are positioned on a protoboard as shown in Figure 6-3. Show the wiring required to connect all of the resistors in parallel between A and B. Draw a schematic and label each of the resistors with its value.

Related Problem How could the circuit wiring be simplified if R₂ is removed?

To determine

Draw the simplified wiring diagram of the circuit when the resistor $R_2$ is removed.

Explanation of Solution

Discussion:

Refer to Figure 6-3 in the textbook for the five resistors in a proto board.

Consider the resistor $R_2$ is removed from the board.

The schematic of wiring diagram to connect the resistors $R_1,R_3,R_4,\text{and}{R}_5$ in parallel connection between points A and B is drawn and it is shown in Figure 1.

Conclusion:

Thus, the simplified wiring diagram is drawn when $R_2$ is removed.
