Question

Given three resistors of different values, how many possible resistance values could be obtained by using one or more of the resistors?

Answer 1

8 possible combinations

Assuming R 1, R 2 and R 3 be three different Resistance

1- all three in series

2-all three in parallel

3- R 1 and R 2 in series and parallel with R 3

​

4-R 1 and R 3 in series and parallel with R 2

​

5-R 2 and R 3 in series and parallel with R 1

​

6- R 1 and R 2

in parallel and series with R 3

​

7-R 1 and R 3 in parallel and series with R 2

​

8-R 2 and R 3 in V with R 1
