Question

What is the equivalent resistance for a series circuit with three resistors

Answer 1

A. 5.052 x 10⁴ Ohms

Step-by-step explanation:

The equivalent resistance is equal to the sum of the resistances. In this case, the resistances are

2.2 x 10² Ohms = 220 Ohms

3.3 x 10³ Ohms = 3300 Ohms

4.7 x 10⁴ Ohms = 47000 Ohms

Then, their sum is equal to

47000 Ohms + 3300 Ohms + 220 Ohms = 50520 Ohms

However

50520 Ohms = 5.052 x 10⁴ Ohms

So, the answer is

A. 5.052 x 10⁴ Ohms
