Homework Help Overview
The discussion revolves around a Grade 11 physics problem related to calculating equivalent resistance in a circuit. Participants are attempting to reconcile differing results for the equivalent resistance value.
Discussion Character
- Exploratory, Assumption checking
Approaches and Questions Raised
- Participants are discussing the steps leading to the calculation of equivalent resistance, with one individual expressing confusion over their result of 45.3 ohms compared to another's result of 25.6 ohms. There is a request for intermediate steps to identify potential errors.
Discussion Status
Some participants have provided guidance by suggesting careful identification of series and parallel components. There is acknowledgment of a misunderstanding, but no explicit consensus on the correct approach has been reached.
Contextual Notes
Participants are working under the constraints of a homework assignment, which may limit the information shared and the methods discussed.

Can't tell where your mistake is unless you post your intermediate steps that lead you to a (false) answer of 45.3 ohms, but I did it my self and I found it to be 25.6 ohms indeed (25.555 to be more precise).

Yes I figured it out I wasn't using my common sense, thank youDelta2 said:

Not exactly common sense, but it is kind of easy problem if you carefully identify the components in series and the components in parallel.danielsmith123123 said:
