What Is the Opposing Resistance for a 14ohm and 10ohm Circuit?

Click For Summary

Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around a circuit problem involving two resistances of 14 ohms and 10 ohms. Participants are exploring the concept of "opposing resistance" and its implications within the context of electrical circuits.

Discussion Character

  • Conceptual clarification, Assumption checking

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants are questioning the meaning of "opposing resistance" and whether it refers to a specific type of resistance in a circuit. There are inquiries about the context of the resistances and how they are connected. Some are suggesting the possibility of it referring to equivalent resistance.

Discussion Status

The discussion is ongoing, with participants seeking clarification on the terminology and context of the problem. There is a lack of consensus on the interpretation of "opposing resistance," and multiple interpretations are being explored.

Contextual Notes

Some participants note the need for additional context, such as a diagram or details on how the resistances are connected, to better understand the question posed by the teacher.

Homework Statement
Is there anything called opposing resistance.
Relevant Equations
Well this is not a homework.
I don't know about it. Please help.
It wasn't letting me to post until I typed something here. So I am typing this.

You need to give more context.
Do you mean, something that is opposing a resistance, or an "opposing resistance ", i.e. a resistance that opposes something? Or are you asking what is the opposite of resistance?

If the first, who or what is opposing what sort of resistance? A dictator in a dictatorship? A battery in a circuit? A cyclist in the wind?

Well my teacher asked the question that there are two resistance of 14ohm and 10ohm so what is the opposing resistance.

By any chance, do you know if they meant equivalent resistance?
