Question

Determine the equivalent resistance between A and B in the figure below.

Answer 1

Given:

• R1 = 3 Ω

,

• R2 = 4 Ω

,

• R3 = 4 Ω

,

• R4 = 1 Ω

Let's find the equivalent resistance between A and B in the given circuit.

R3 and R4 are connected in parallel.

To find the equivalent resistance (R5) of R3 and R4 since they are connected in parallel, we have:

Now, R1, R2, and R5 are will be series.

To find the equivalent resistance, we have:

`\begin{gathered} R_(eq)=R_1+R_2+R_3 \\ \\ R_(eq)=3Ω+4Ω+0.8Ω \\ \\ R_(eq)=7.8Ω \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the equivalent resistance between A and B in the figure is 7.8Ω.

ANSWER:

7.8Ω
