Total Resistance b/w A & B = 60 Ohms

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The total resistance between points A and B is calculated to be 60 Ohms using the formula for resistors in parallel. Given a resistor value of R = 50 Ohms, the equivalent resistance (Req) is derived from the equation 1/Req = 1/2R + 1/3R. This simplifies to Req = (6/5)*R, confirming that the total resistance is indeed 60 Ohms.

Homework Statement


R=50 Ohms

Homework Equations


Calculate the total resistance between points A and B.

The Attempt at a Solution


1/Req = 1/2R + 1/3R
1/Req = (3R+2R)/6R2
Req = (6/5)*R = (6/5)*50 = 60 Ohms
