Find the equivalent resistance, Req looking into the terminals of the following circuit as Indicated Find the equivalent resistance, Req looking into the terminals of the following circuit as Indicated

Right Answer is:

14.4 Ω

SOLUTION

From the given figure resistance 6Ω & 3Ω are connected in parallel

= (6 × 3)/(6 + 3) = 2 Ω

Resistance 5Ω & 1Ω are connected in series

5Ω + 1Ω = 6Ω

Find the equivalent resistance, Req looking into the terminals of the following circuit as Indicated

Now resistance 2 Ω & 2 Ω are connected in series

= 2 + 2 =4Ω

Now resistance 4Ω and 6Ω are connected in parallel

= (4 × 6)/(4 + 6) = 2.4 Ω

Find the equivalent resistance, Req looking into the terminals of the following circuit as Indicated

Finally resistance 4Ω, 2.4Ω & 8Ω are connected in series

Req = 4 + 2.4 + 8

Req = 14.4Ω
