A) R2 = R1 + RT/R1
B) R2 = R1 + R2/RT
C) R2 = RT - R1/RT/R1
D) R2 = RT * R1/R1 - RT

Answer 1

The equation that represents the resistance of resistor 2, R2, in terms of RT and R1 is R2 = R1 + RT/R1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asked is: Rewrite the equation to represent the resistance of resistor 2, R2, in terms of RT and R1.

The options given are: A) R2 = R1 + RT/R1 B) R2 = R1 + R2/RT C) R2 = RT - R1/RT/R1 D) R2 = RT * R1/R1 - RT

To rewrite the equation to represent the resistance of resistor 2, R2, in terms of RT and R1, we need to analyze the options and choose the correct equation. The correct equation is option A) R2 = R1 + RT/R1. This equation shows that the resistance of resistor 2 (R2) is equal to the resistance of resistor 1 (R1) added to the total resistance (RT) divided by the resistance of resistor 1 (R1).
