SUMMARY
The total resistance calculation for the circuit in Question 38 results in 92Ω. The circuit includes a combination of resistors: 60Ω, 15Ω, 20Ω, 10Ω, and 5Ω, with specific connections of series and parallel configurations. The 10Ω and 20Ω resistors are in series, yielding a resultant of 30Ω, which is then connected to the 15Ω resistor. Accurate calculations require careful attention to the arrangement of these resistors, particularly distinguishing between series and parallel connections.
