Step 1
1/R1 + 1/R2 = 1/11k + 1/11k = 2/11k R1 || R2 = 1 / (2/11k) = 11k/2 = 5.5k Now, let's calculate the total resistance for R1 || R2 and R3 in series. RT = R1 || R2 + R3 = 5.5k + 5.5k = 11k Show more…

If resistors of R1, R2, and R3 ohms are connected in parallel to make an R ohm resistor, the value of R can be found from the equation: 1/R = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 Find the value of ∂R/∂R3 when R1 = 10, R2 = 20, and R3 = 30 ohms.
