  • R1=50ohm
  • R2=70ohm

Series connection

Net resistance

  • R1+R2
  • 50+70
  • 120ohm

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to determine the total resistance also known as the net resistance that is occurring in the circuit. We need to combine the two resistors that are being used and that will give us the net.

50.0 ohm + 70.0 ohm

120.0 ohm

Answer: The net resistance is 120.0 ohm
