Two resistance a and b are connected in parallel. The total resistance R in such a circuit is found by fomulaa R=1/a+1/b. if R=5/6 ohms and b is one more ohm than a, find the number of ohms in a and b
Added by Timothy M.
Step 1
We know that the total resistance \( R \) in a parallel circuit is given by the formula: \[ \frac{1}{R} = \frac{1}{a} + \frac{1}{b} \] We are given that \( R = \frac{5}{6} \) ohms and that \( b = a + 1 \). Show more…
