Question

Find the equivalent resistance of thiscircuit.R₁50 ΩR₂100 Ωt1.50 VReg = [ ? ] £2

Answer 1

We are given the following information.

Resistor: R₁ = 50 Ω

Resistor: R₂ = 100 Ω

We are asked to find the equivalent resistance of this circuit.

Notice that the resistors R₁ and R₂ are in series.

So, their equivalent resistance will be the sum of the individual resistors.

$\begin{gathered} R_{eq}=R_1+R_2 \\ R_{eq}=50+100 \\ R_{eq}=150\;\Omega \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the equivalent resistance of this circuit is 150 Ω.
