SUMMARY

The discussion clarifies the use of commas in the context of circuit equations, specifically in the expression "R1= R2, R3 =150 Ω." The comma indicates two separate facts: R1 is equal to R2, and R3 is equal to 150 ohms. This distinction is crucial for understanding the equivalent resistance of parallel circuits. Participants emphasized the importance of clear communication and providing complete information, including diagrams, for effective assistance.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of electrical circuits
  • Familiarity with resistance and ohm values
  • Knowledge of parallel circuit configurations
  • Ability to interpret circuit diagrams
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the principles of equivalent resistance in parallel circuits
  • Learn how to analyze circuit diagrams effectively
  • Explore the use of circuit simulation tools like LTspice
  • Review electrical engineering fundamentals related to resistors and their configurations
USEFUL FOR

Students studying electrical engineering, educators teaching circuit analysis, and hobbyists building electronic circuits will benefit from this discussion.

Homework Statement
In the circuit in Figure 15,
R1= R2, R3 =150 Ω,
Relevant Equations
Find the equivalent resistance of this parallel circuit.
I am just confused on what the comma means. Can someone explain what each value would be or the explanation?

It would help us help you if we could see the whole question, including any diagram.
But the comma in R1= R2, R3 =150 Ω Just means there are two given facts:
R1= R2
and
R3 =150 Ω.
