A student has three resistors of resistances 2 ohm, 6 ohm and 12 ohm.
(i)How will he join these resistors to get an equivalent resistance of 6 ohm?
(ii)What could be the highest and lowest equivalent resistances obtained by him when joining these resistors?
Dear student,
6 and 12 ohm are in parallel and then their resultant in series with 2 ohm.
Series combination will give maximum resistance, and connecting all of them in parallel will give minimum resistance.
