kuruman but if follow the electric current starting at postive terminal , electric current will flow in both top and bottom branches after the junction right ?
i was trying to calculate equivalent resistance of this circuit
and that was my attempt :
1) i can see two parallel 20 ohm resistors so equivalent resistance = $${20 \over 2} = 10 ohm$$
2) now we are left with 20 ohm resistor and 10 ohm resistor which are connected in series so
equivalent...
i had a problem in my textbook asking me to get equivalent resistance of a circuit , i ended up getting 23.7 ohm as my answer but my textbook says that the correct answer is 100 ohm
you can see my attempt here :

i really want to know what went wrong with my steps
thanks in advance
my text box says that the pressure at point A is less than pressure at point B
Are not they supposed to have same pressure as they are on the same horizontal plane ?
if we use a water manometer we get the pressure of the gas in manometer by using this forumla :
Pgas = Patmosphere ± ρgh
and if we use the a mercury manometer we use this formula instead :
Pgas = Patmosphere ± h
and here's my question :
why cannot we use the first formula in both of them ...

@sophiecentaur
i am talking about this :
and this ( this is just an example of what i am saying btw)
what does he mean by that ? if we use u shaped tube with two branches with different diameters realistically we should get totally difference results as the branche with smaller...
Why the height of liquid is not affected by the radius of U-Shaped tube . ..my textbook says this and it does make sense because if increase the radius of u shaped tube the height of liquid should decrease as the liquids take shape of their container.
Edit : I could not make the title longer...
When I should use each one of these forumlas ? I just need someone to explain each one of them ... Here's a pic to what I am referring to https://ibb.co/M1GJRPF , why cannot we always use the big F in the middle , the question might be lame but I just suck when it comes to dealing with...
