A student has four resistors with resistances of 6.0 Ω , 20 Ω , 30 Ω , and 18 Ω . Draw a diagram of how the student can build a circuit with a total resistance of 16.5 Ω .
Added by Naomi A.
Step 1
When resistors are connected in series, the total resistance (Rt) is the sum of the resistances of each resistor. Rt = R1 + R2 + R3 + ... When resistors are connected in parallel, the total resistance (Rt) is given by the formula: 1/Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 + Show more…
