    Checking Your Work: Calculating Equivalent Resistance

    I'm not sure if I'm doing this right, I would appreciate if someone could take a look. Q. Find the equivalent resistance of the circuit (attached diagram). Each of the six resistors has a resistance equal to 12 ohms. I'm thinking that R5 and R6 are in series and therefore combine to be 2R...

    What Is the Equivalent Resistance Between Points A and B?

    Find the equivalent resistance between points A and B for the group of resistors shown in Figure 21-29, where R1 = 93 and R2 = 40 . http://server5.ihostphotos.com/show.php?id=fW6dc414515Bf2aS6b42f0eGf8aad2e7 ok i know that R_{1} and 35\Omega are in series and R_{2} is in parallel to the top...

    Replacing Resistors in Series: Equivalent Resistance and Calculation

    Can two resistors in series be replaced by a single resistor and give an equivalent resistance to the circuit? If so , how must the single resistance be related to the two in series ? R=R1+R2 ? ?

    How do I calculate the equivalent resistance for this circuit?

    I'm in a intro to circuits class for non-EE majors. One of the homework problems asks for the equivalent resistance. See the attached file for a picture of this system. I know the first step is to add resistors R4 and R5 (in series) as well as add resistors R6 and R7 (in series). But...

    Can someone help me find the equivalent resistance

    For this question I am pretty sure I am doing everything right but I just can't get the right answer. Diagram below. This is the question. Find the equivalent resistance of the circuit shown in the diagram, where R1 = 3 Ω, R2 = 2 Ω, R3 = 4 Ω, R4 = 1 Ω, R5 = 1 Ω, R6 = 2 Ω, and R7 = 2 Ω. What I...

    Equivalent resistance & current

    ok, so the problem states: the current in a loop circuit that has a resistance of R1 is 3A. The current is reduced to 1.6A when an additional resistor R2=2ohms is added in series with R1. What is the value of R1? I drew two diagrams. My logic was that the voltage would be the same, b/c the...

    Calculating Equivalent Resistance in a Complex Circuit

    I'm stumped by this problem. There's no symmetry in the circuit, so I can't ignore the 1 ohm resistor that bisects the triangle. Is there something else I'm missing? I'm supposed to show the Rab = 27/17 ohms. Please see the attached diagram. Thanks.
