Answer:

5. 60 Ω

6. 60 Ω

7. 10 Ω

8. 0.625 KΩ

Step-by-step explanation:

5. Determination of the equivalent resistance.

Resistor 1 (R₁) = 10 Ω

Resistor 2 (R₂) = 20 Ω

Resistor 3 (R₃) = 30 Ω

Equivalent Resistance (R) =?

Since the resistors are arranged in series connection, the equivalent resistance can be obtained as follow:

R = R₁ + R₂ + R₃

R = 10 + 20 + 30

R = 60 Ω

Thus, the equivalent resistance is 60 Ω

6. Determination of the equivalent resistance.

Resistor 1 (R₁) = 10 Ω

Resistor 2 (R₂) = 35 Ω

Resistor 3 (R₃) = 15 Ω

Equivalent Resistance (R) =?

Since the resistors are arranged in series connection, the equivalent resistance can be obtained as follow:

R = R₁ + R₂ + R₃

R = 10 + 35 + 15

R = 60 Ω

Thus, the equivalent resistance is 60 Ω

7. Determination of the equivalent resistance.

Resistor 1 (R₁) = 6 Ω

Resistor 2 (R₂) = 4 Ω

Equivalent Resistance (R) =?

Since the resistors are arranged in series connection, the equivalent resistance can be obtained as follow:

R = R₁ + R₂

R = 6 + 4

R = 10 Ω

Thus, the equivalent resistance is 10 Ω

8. Determination of the equivalent resistance.

Resistor 1 (R₁) = 10 KΩ

Resistor 2 (R₂) = 2 KΩ

Resistor 3 (R₃) = 1 KΩ

Equivalent Resistance (R) =?

Since the resistors are arranged in parallel connection, the equivalent resistance can be obtained as follow:

1/R = 1/R₁ + 1/R₂ + 1/R₃

1/R = 1/10 + 1/2 + 1/1

Find the least common multiple (lcm) of 10, 2 and 1. The result is 10. Divide 10 by each of the denominator and multiply the result obtained by the numerator. This is illustrated below:

1/R = (1 + 5 + 10) / 10

1/R = 16/10

Invert

R = 10/16

R = 0.625 KΩ

Thus, the equivalent resistance is 0.625 KΩ.
