We are given the following information.

Resistor: R₁ = 50 Ω

Resistor: R₂ = 100 Ω

We are asked to find the equivalent resistance of this circuit.

Notice that the resistors R₁ and R₂ are in series.

So, their equivalent resistance will be the sum of the individual resistors.


\begin{gathered} R_(eq)=R_1+R_2 \\ R_(eq)=50+100 \\ R_(eq)=150\;\Omega \end{gathered}

Therefore, the equivalent resistance of this circuit is 150 Ω.
