Equivalent Equivalent resistance Pole Resistance

In summary, the equivalent resistance of a two pole is the combined resistance of two resistors connected in series or parallel. The formula for calculating equivalent resistance depends on the placement of the resistors, and the significance of equivalent resistance lies in its effect on the overall resistance seen by a current passing through the circuit. Equivalent resistance can be measured using a multimeter or by using the appropriate formula based on the placement of the resistors.

Homework Statement

2. The attempt at a solution

I would say Re = 6 ohm, but that can't be right.. So i really don't know how it could be something else. Any help in solving this problem would be apreciated :)

ok i think i got it now. its U/4SU = 1/4S

1. What is equivalent resistance of a two pole?

The equivalent resistance of a two pole is the combined resistance of two resistors connected in series or parallel. It represents the total resistance seen by a current passing through the two poles.

2. What is the formula for calculating equivalent resistance of a two pole?

The formula for calculating equivalent resistance of a two pole depends on whether the resistors are connected in series or parallel. For series resistors, the equivalent resistance is the sum of individual resistances. For parallel resistors, the equivalent resistance is calculated using the formula 1/Req = 1/R1 + 1/R2.

3. How does the placement of resistors affect the equivalent resistance of a two pole?

The placement of resistors in a two pole circuit can affect the equivalent resistance. When resistors are connected in series, the equivalent resistance increases as more resistors are added. However, when resistors are connected in parallel, the equivalent resistance decreases as more resistors are added.

4. What is the significance of equivalent resistance in a two pole circuit?

The equivalent resistance in a two pole circuit is important because it determines the overall resistance seen by a current passing through the circuit. This can affect the flow of electricity and the performance of the circuit.

5. How do you measure equivalent resistance in a two pole circuit?

To measure equivalent resistance in a two pole circuit, you can use a multimeter or an ohmmeter. Simply connect the probes of the meter to the two poles and the meter will display the equivalent resistance. Alternatively, you can use the formula for calculating equivalent resistance based on the placement of the resistors in the circuit.
