Question

Electrical resistors are said to be connected "in series" if the same current flows through each of them and "in parallel" if the same voltage is applied across each. If in series, they are equivalent to a single resistor whose resistance is given by R = R1 + R2 + R3 + R4 + R5..... + Rn If in parallel, their equivalent resistance is given by 1 R = 1 R1 + 1 R2 + 1 R3 + 1 R4 + 1 R5 ..... + 1 Rn Write an m-file that prompts the user for the type of connection (series or parallel) and the number of resistors n and then computes the equivalent resistance. Use switch statement for the connection and while loop for the resistance calculation. (20 points)
