Question

A 11.88 ohm resistor, a 17.72 ohm resistor and a 16.59 ohm resistor are connected in series. What is the equivalent resistance?

Answer 1

To find the equivalent resistance of resistors in series, add their resistances. for 11.88 ohms, 17.72 ohms, and 16.59 ohms connected in series the equivalent resistance is 46.19 ohms.

Step-by-step explanation:

When resistors are connected in series, the total or equivalent resistance is the sum of the individual resistances. Given a circuit with three resistors of 11.88 ohms, 17.72 ohms, and 16.59 ohms connected in series, you can find the equivalent resistance by simply adding these values together.

• Resistance_total = Resistance_1 + Resistance_2 + Resistance_3
  In this case:

• Resistance_total = 11.88 Ω + 17.72 Ω + 16.59 Ω

• Resistance_total = 46.19 Ω
  Therefore, the

equivalent resistance

of the circuit is 46.19 ohms.
