Answer:
See explanations below
Explanation:
For resistors in series, the will be added for those in parallel, we will take the sum of their reciprocal
A) 3 2ohms resistors in series
Equivalent resistance = 2 + 2 + 2
Equivalent resistance = 6ohms
B) 2 4 ohms resisstors in parallal
1/R = 1/4 + 1/4
1/R = 2/4
R = 4/2
R = 4ohms
Equivalent resistance is 2ohms
C) 4 ohms with in series with 8ohms = 4 + 8
Equivalent resistance = 4 + 8
Equivalent resistance = 12ohms
D) 4 ohms and 2 ohms in parallel is expressed as;
1/R = 1/4 + 1/2
1/R = 1+2/4
1/R = 3/4
R = 4/3
4/3 ohms in series with 6ohms
Equivalent resistance = 4/3 + 6
Equivalent resistance =4+18/3
Equivalent resistance = 22/3 ohms
