Final answer:
To identify the fault in the circuit, calculate the total resistance of the circuit by adding up the resistance values of the individual resistors. Compare the calculated value with the actual value of the total resistance to identify the specific fault, if any.
Step-by-step explanation:
A circuit with resistor values of 22k, 18k, 8.2k, 1.0k, and 10k is given. To identify the fault in the circuit, we need to calculate the total resistance of the circuit. If the total resistance is not the same as the sum of the individual resistors, then there is a fault in the circuit.
To calculate the total resistance of the circuit, we simply add up the resistance values of the individual resistors:
Total resistance = 22k + 18k + 8.2k + 1.0k + 10k
= 59.2k
If the total resistance is different from 59.2k, then the fault can be identified by comparing the calculated value with the actual value of the total resistance.
In this case, we would need more information about what value the total resistance should be in order to identify the specific fault in the circuit.
