Question

A combination consists of three resistors in series. Four similar sets are connected in parallel. If the resistance of each resistor is 2 ohm, find the resistance of the combination.

KnowledgeBoat · Accepted Answer

Let the four set of resistors be R₁, R₂, R₃, R₄ . As each set consists of three resistors of 2 Ω each in series: Resistance of each set = 2 + 2 + 2 = 6 Ω As four similar sets of equivalent resistance 6 Ω are arranged in parallel, so the equivalent resistance (R_P) will be: Hence, equivalent resistance = 1.5 Ω
