Consider 3 resistors with resistances 1.15 × 102 Ω, 2.1 kΩ, and 3.8 kΩ. What would be their resistance, Rs, in kilohms, if they were connected in series?
Is it possible to connect a group of resistors of value R in such a waythat the equivalent resistance is less than R? If so, give a specificexample
Two parallel plates, connected to a 40- V power supply, are separated by an air gap. How small can the gap be if the air is not to become conducting by exceeding its breakdown value of E= 4×10 V/m?
