Question

A cuircuit contains two devices that are connected inparallel. If the resistance of one of these devices is12 ohms andthe resistance of the other device is 4 ohms, the total resistanceof the two devices is (a) 0.0625ohms                            (c) 3 ohms (b) 0.333ohms                              (d) 16 ohms A cuircuit contains two devices that are connected inparallel.

Explanation / Answer

1/R = 1/12 + 1/4 R = 3 answer: (c) 3 ohms
