Geoffrey is building an electronic circuit on a breadboard. He needs to supply his circuit with a 1500 ohm resistance. But he does not have any 1500 resistors on hand. All he has is a box of 1000 resistors. (a) How can Geoffrey produce the desired resistance of 1500 2 using only 1000 2 resistors? Draw a schematic diagram and show that the equivalent resistance is 1500 2. Try to minimize the number of required resistors. (b) What is the impedance of the 1500 22 portion of the circuit?

Question
Geoffrey is building an electronic circuit on a breadboard. He needs to supply his circuit with a 1500 ohm
resistance. But he does not have any 1500 2 resistors on hand. All he has is a box of 1000 2 resistors.
(a) How can Geoffrey produce the desired resistance of 1500 using only 1000 resistors? Draw a schematic diagram
and show that the equivalent resistance is 1500 2. Try to minimize the number of required resistors.
(b) What is the impedance of the 1500 2 portion of the circuit?
