Four resistances of 16 Ohms each are connected in parallel. Four such combinations are connected in series. What is the total resistance?
Added by Marcus H.
Step 1
The formula for calculating the equivalent resistance of resistors in parallel is: 1/R_eq = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 + 1/R4 Substituting the values given in the question, we get: 1/R_eq = 1/16 + 1/16 + 1/16 + 1/16 1/R_eq = 4/16 R_eq = 4 Ohms So, the four resistances Show more…
