Three identical resistors have an equivalent resistance 15.6 ohm when they are connected in series. What is the resistance for each resistor

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]R=5.2\ \Omega[/tex]

Explanation:

In series combination, the equivalent resistance is given by :

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

Let the identical resistors be R. We have, [tex]R_{eq}=15.6\ \Omega[/tex]

So,

[tex]R+R+R=15.6\\\\3R=15.6\\\\R=\dfrac{15.6}{3}\\\\R=5.2\ \Omega[/tex]

So, the resistance of each resistor is [tex]5.2\ \Omega[/tex].
