Homework Statement


Find the net resistance in the circuit. each resistance is 3.3 kOhms. see attached
Thanks!

Homework Equations


series r=r1+r2+r3...
parallel 1/r=1/r1+1/r2...

The Attempt at a Solution


I tried taking into account the short circuit and just adding two. Also tried resistance of 2 in parallel and 4 in series.

Welcome to Physics Forums. :smile:

To start, can you find 2 resistors that are either in series or in parallel? Replace those 2 resistors with a single, equivalent resistor and redraw the circuit.
