Find the equivalent resistance in 16 ohm and 8.0 ohm connected in parallel.
What is 16*8/(24) ? 16/3 ohms.
Hey thanks a lot but how did you know to put 8/(24)?
let
R1= 16 ohm
R2=8ohms
for parallel combination of resistances
R=R1XR2/(R1+R2)
16*8/(24)=16/3
To find the equivalent resistance in a parallel circuit, you can use the formula:
1/Req = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 + ...
In this case, you have two resistors connected in parallel, so the formula becomes:
1/Req = 1/16 + 1/8
To simplify this equation, you need to find a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 16.
1/Req = 1/16 + 2/16
Now, you can add the fractions together:
1/Req = 3/16
To find Req, take the reciprocal of both sides of the equation:
Req = 16/3
Therefore, the equivalent resistance in a circuit with a 16 ohm resistor and an 8.0 ohm resistor connected in parallel is approximately 5.33 ohms.
