Question

four 10-(Greek capital omega) resistors are connected in series and in parallel. what is the equivalent resistance of each combination?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given that there are four identical resistors with a resistance of.10Ω.

 

The expression for equivalent resistance of the identical resistors connected in series is,

Physics homework question answer, Step 1, Image 1
Step 2

Here, RS is the equivalent resistance of the identical resistors connected in series and R is the resistance of the resistors.

 

Thus, the equivalent resistance of the identical resistors connected in series is,
