Answer:

Total resistance = 35 ohms

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Three resistors are 14 ohms 12 ohms and 9 ohms are connected in series.

For a series combination, the equivalent resistance is given by :


R_s=R_1+R_2+R_3\\\\R_s=14+12+9\\\\R_s=35\ \Omega

So, the total resistance of the circuit is
35\ \Omega.
