Question

Three resistors with resistances of 4.0, 6.0, and 10 ohms are connected in series. what is the equivalent resistance of this combination of resistors?

a. 1.9 ohms
b. 9.2 ohms
c. 20 ohms
d. 40 ohms

Answer 1

20 ohms

Step-by-step explanation:

4 ohms + 6 ohms + 10 ohms = 20 ohms

Answer 2

in series = Rt = R1 + R2 + R3 and so on

therefore Rt = 4.0Ω + 6.0Ω + 10.0Ω

Rt = 20.0Ω
