What is the Equivalent Resistance in a Series Circuit?

[Dr.Phy]

Hi guys,I'm new here and maybe I'm posting this homework in a wrong part of the forum.I tried to find the equivalent resistance.It may be a simple homework but I am learning first for the electricy physic.I tried to find Re first R2+R3=4 Ω and than found Re=1/4 Ω + 1/2 Ω + 1/2 Ω can i slove it this way? (P.s sorry for my bad english.)

R1 is not parallel with the resultant of R2, R3, R4. Check.

Can it be formed so?

Yes.

[Dr.Phy]

Yes.

Then I did it so:R23=2Ω +2Ω =4Ω and 1/Re=1/4Ω + 1/2Ω +1/2Ω = 5/4Ω Re=4Ω /5? Is this the right way of slowing it?

No. What does parallel connection mean? Explain which resistors are connected in series and which are parallel.

R2,R3 are connected in series.And R4 R1 in paralel?

 

[Saitama]

R2,R3 are connected in series.

Yes.

And R4 R1 in paralel?

No. The equivalent resistance of R2 and R3 is in parallel with R4. Do you see why?

 

[Dr.Phy]

Yes.

Yes but i don't know how is it connected the R1,and how to find the eq reasistance of this circuit can u help me :/ .

Draw figures after each reduction. R2 and R3 are in series as you said. Replace them with a single resistor and draw the figure.
