Answer to Question #106243 in Physics for Tara Brown

Question #106243

In a series circuit there are 3 separate resistors of 3, 8 and 5 ohms. What is the total resistance in the circuit?

Expert's answer

If they are connected in parallel:

"R=3+8+5=16\\ \\Omega"

If they are connected in series:

"\\frac{1}{R'}=\\frac{1}{3}+\\frac{1}{8}+\\frac{1}{5}"

"R'=1.519\\ \\Omega"
