Step 1
To find the total resistance of a parallel circuit, you can use the formula: 1/RTotal = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 + ... In this case, we have R1 = 240 Ω, R2 = 360 Ω, and R3 = ?. 1/RTotal = 1/240 + 1/360 + 1/R3 Show more…

What resistance must be placed in parallel with $12 \Omega$ to obtain a combined resistance of $4 \Omega$ ? $$ \begin{array}{lc} \text { From } & \frac{1}{R_{\mathrm{eq}}} & =\frac{1}{R_{1}}+\frac{1}{R_{2}} \\ \text { we have } & \frac{1}{4 \Omega} & =\frac{1}{12 \Omega}+\frac{1}{R_{2}} \\ \text { and so } & R_{2}=6 \Omega \end{array} $$
A three-branch parallel circuit has a total resistance of 385.83 Ω. Two of the resistors are 680 Ω and 1600 Ω. What is the value of the third resistor?
