Part B? Question

The total resistance in a circuit with two parallel resistors is 2 ohms and $R_1$ is 6 ohms. Using the equation for R₂, in terms of Rt and R₁, what is R₂ ?
R₂ is ohms.

Answer 1

If the two resistances or impedances in parallel are equal and of the same value, then the total or equivalent resistance, R T is equal to half the value of one resistor. That is equal to R/2 and for three equal resistors in parallel, R/3, etc.
