Consider the three circuits that you have created: Circuit 1: Single resistor (total resistance R1) Circuit 2: Three resistors in series (total resistance R2) Circuit 3: Three resistors in parallel (total resistance R3) Rank these in terms of their total resistance, from least to greatest. Question 2 options: R2 < R1 < R3 R1 < R2 < R3 R3 < R1 < R2 R2 < R3 < R1 R3 < R2 < R1 R1 < R3 < R2
Ohm's law
Ohm’s law is a prominent concept in physics and electronics. It gives the relation between the current and the voltage. It is used to analyze and construct electrical circuits. Ohm's law states that the voltage across a conductor is directly proportional to the current flowing through it.
Path of Least Resistance
In a series of alternate pathways, the direction of least resistance is the actual or metaphorical route that offers the least resistance to forwarding motion by a given individual or body.
Consider the three circuits that you have created:
Circuit 1: Single resistor (total resistance R1)
Circuit 2: Three resistors in series (total resistance R2)
Circuit 3: Three resistors in parallel (total resistance R3)
Rank these in terms of their total resistance, from least to greatest.
