A series circuit is composed of three resistors:
R1= 7
R2 = 6
R3 = 11

A 12-volt battery is connected across the three resistors.
Find the total resistance Rt.

A. 2.5
B. 0.40
C. 24

____ omega

Respuesta :

Answer:

Resistors in a series = R1 + R2 + R3

Rt = 7 + 6 + 11

= 24 omega

Answer:

Equivalent resistance of the combination is 24 ohms.

Explanation:

Resistance 1, [tex]R_1=7\ \Omega[/tex]

Resistance 2, [tex]R_2=6\ \Omega[/tex]

Resistance 3, [tex]R_3=11\ \Omega[/tex]

Voltage of battery, V = 12 volt

These three resistors are connected in series whose equivalent is given by :

[tex]R_{eq}=R_1+R_2+R_3[/tex]

[tex]R_{eq}=7+6+11[/tex]

[tex]R_{eq}=24\ \Omega[/tex]

So, the equivalent resistance of the combination is 24 ohms. Hence, this is the required solution.
