What are the largest and smallest resistances you can obtain by connecting a 36.0-Ω, a 50.0-Ω, and a 700-Ω resistor together?
Added by Zachary K.
Step 1
The largest resistance can be obtained by connecting all resistors in series. In a series circuit, the total resistance is simply the sum of the resistances of all the components. So, the largest resistance would be 36.0 Ω + 50.0 Ω + 700 Ω = 786.0 Ω. Show more…
