Perhaps it was rounded. Could you explain how you got it?.Scott said:

check out delta / Y transforms (or in your case, Y / delta transforms)Eitan Levy said:
That's clearly the better way to go. I thought I remembered there was a nice closed form, but I couldn't think of what it was.phinds said:
Combined resistance in a circuit refers to the overall resistance encountered by an electric current as it flows through a circuit containing multiple resistors. It is the total opposition to the flow of current in a circuit and is measured in Ohms (Ω).
In a series circuit, the combined resistance is equal to the sum of all the individual resistances. This means that if there are two resistors with values R1 and R2, the combined resistance would be R1 + R2. In general, for n number of resistors in series, the combined resistance would be R = R1 + R2 + ... + Rn.
In a parallel circuit, the combined resistance is calculated using the formula 1/R = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + ... + 1/Rn. This means that the reciprocal of the combined resistance is equal to the sum of the reciprocals of all the individual resistances. The combined resistance can then be found by taking the reciprocal of the result.
According to Ohm's Law, the current in a circuit is directly proportional to the voltage and inversely proportional to the combined resistance. This means that as the combined resistance in a circuit increases, the current decreases and vice versa.
No, the combined resistance in a circuit can never be lower than the lowest individual resistance. This is because adding more resistors in parallel or series will always increase the overall resistance, making it impossible for the combined resistance to be lower than any of the individual resistances.
