Question

What is the total resistance of a parallel circuit that has three 2 ohm resistors?

O 1.5 ohms
O2 ohms
O 6 ohms
0.66 ohms

Answer 1

0.66 ohms

Step-by-step explanation:

Resistors are connected parallelly in a circuit,

`(1)/(R_(eq)) = (1)/(R_(1) ) + (1)/(R_(2)) + (1)/(R_(3))\\(1)/(R_(eq)) = (1)/(2) + (1)/(2)+ (1)/(2) = (3)/(2) \\R_(eq) = (2)/(3) = 0.66 ohms`
