Question

What is the equivalent resistance of a circuit that contains two 50.0 resistors connected in series to a 12.0 V battery?A.600.0 B.50.0 C.4.17 D.100.0

Answer 1

D. 100.0

Step-by-step explanation

The equivalence resistance of a circuit with resistors connected in series is the sum of the resistances of each resistor. In this case, we have two resistors with a resistance of 50.0 Ohm, so the equivalent resistance is,

`R_(eq)=50.0+50.0=100.0`

Hence, the equivalent resistance is 100.0 Ohm.
