Question

a) Two or more resistors in a circuit are said to be in parallel when all
the resistors are connected to the same nodes and the same
voltage is appearing across all these elements. Two or more resistors
in a circuit are also said to be in series when the current flowing
through all the resistors is the same. With the aid of three resistors,4
Ohm’s law and diagrams derive the two important total resistance
formulas for the two connections to verify these two postulates

b) Using your formulations in (a), find the current in the Load Resistor
RL of resistance 30Ω and Thevenin’s resistance Rth of Figure 4 below.

c) Find the resistance Req shown in the circuit in Figure 4 below using
your knowledge of parallel and series connections demonstrated in
