Resistors in series and parallel

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating equivalent resistance in electrical circuits, specifically for resistors in series and parallel configurations. The user correctly determined that the equivalent resistance of a parallel connection of resistors resulted in 11K ohms, which was then added to a 27K ohm resistor in series, yielding a total equivalent resistance of 38K ohms. This calculation is confirmed as accurate by other participants in the forum.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Ohm's Law
  • Knowledge of series and parallel resistor configurations
  • Ability to perform basic arithmetic operations with resistances
  • Familiarity with electrical circuit diagrams
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the principles of Ohm's Law in detail
  • Learn about the voltage and current behavior in series and parallel circuits
  • Explore more complex resistor networks and their equivalent resistance calculations
  • Investigate the impact of resistor tolerances on circuit performance
USEFUL FOR

Students studying electrical engineering, hobbyists building circuits, and anyone interested in understanding basic circuit analysis and resistor configurations.

1. Homework Statement [/b
I have been asked to find the equivalent resistance for the given attachment.


Homework Equations



first, i solved the parallel connection and the answer is 11K and now this 11K in series with 27K, so the answer is 38K
Am i right?
