Question

Choose the correct statement regarding resistors in a circuit. 0 If you connect two different resistors in parallel in a circuit, then the voltage across each of them is different. 0 If you connect two different resistors in series in a circuit, then the voltage across each of them is the same Three identical resistors in parallel have triple the resistance of each individual one O Three identical resistors in parallel have one third the resistance of each individual one Two identical resistors in series have half the resistance of each individual one Remember the following formulas for resistors connected in parallel or series Rparallel 1/(1/R1 + 1/R2 1/R3 + etc.) and Rseries R1+R2R3 etc Also, resistors connected in parallel must have the same voltage, whereas resistors connected in series must have the same current flowing through each one Submit Answer Incorrect. Tries 1/3 Previous Tries

Explanation / Answer

YES IN PARALLEL

1/Rnet = 1/.R1 +1/R2 + 1/R3

for identical ressitors

R1 = R2 = R3 = R

so

1/Rnet = 1/R + 1/R+1/R

1Rnet = 3/R

Rnet in parallel = R/3

so answer is net ressiatnce in parallel = one third of individual
