Answer:

18.75 ohms.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

]When four resistors are connected in parallel in a circuit,

The equilvalent resistor is given as

1/R' = 1/R₁+1/R₂+1/R₃+1/R₄............................Equation 1

Where R' = Equivalent resistor.

Given: R₁ = R₂ = R₃ = R₄ = 75.0 ohms.

Substitute these values into equation 1

1/R' = (1/75)+(1/75)+(1/75)+(1/75)

1/R' = 4/75

R' = 75/4

R' = 18.75 ohms.

Hence the equivalent resistance = 18.75 ohms.
