Yes, but suppose you were to apply a voltage (or current) source across the two output terminals. What path or paths could current follow? Remember, a "circuit" implies a closed path (loop).Frankenstein19 said:
Sorry if I'm nor using correct terminology but through the 20 an 10 ohm resistor?gneill said:
Correct! The 5 Ω resistor, being disconnected at one end, is unable to pass a current through it. So the only path available is the one you've identified.Frankenstein19 said:
30! Haha bless your soul for spoon feeding this to me. But I'm still a little confused as to why I'd suppose there was a source connected to the output terminals. I wasn't doing that with previous exercises. (I'll try it though to confirm)gneill said:
The idea is that the network presents a certain resistance at the output terminals. A resistance can pass current through it. Hence, if you imagine that there is a source connected across it, then only the paths that can pass current can be involved in the net resistance.Frankenstein19 said:
Equivalent resistance is the total resistance experienced by an electrical circuit in a Wye formation, which is a type of circuit configuration where three resistors are connected in a triangular shape.
To calculate Equivalent Resistance in a Wye formation, you can use the formula: 1/Req = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3, where Req is the Equivalent Resistance and R1, R2, and R3 are the individual resistances of the three resistors in the circuit.
Equivalent Resistance is important in a Wye formation because it helps simplify complex circuits and allows us to easily calculate the total resistance in the circuit. It is also used to determine the amount of current that will flow through the circuit.
The value of Equivalent Resistance in a Wye formation determines the amount of current that will flow through the circuit. A higher Equivalent Resistance means that less current will flow through the circuit, while a lower Equivalent Resistance means that more current will flow through the circuit.
Yes, Equivalent Resistance can be calculated for circuits with any number of resistors in a Wye formation. The formula for calculating it remains the same, where the number of resistors is represented by the variable "n" in the equation: 1/Req = 1/R1 + 1/R2 +...+ 1/Rn.
