Three resistors are set up in a series. The values are R1=2 Ohms, R2= 13 Ohms, and R3= 5.5 Ohms. What’s the total resistance of this circuit?
I think it’s 20.5 R
R = R1+R2+R3 = 2+13+5.5 =
To find the total resistance of a series circuit, you simply add up the resistances of each individual resistor. In this case, the total resistance (RTotal) is equal to the sum of R1, R2, and R3.
RTotal = R1 + R2 + R3
Plug in the given values:
RTotal = 2 Ohms + 13 Ohms + 5.5 Ohms
RTotal = 20.5 Ohms
Therefore, the total resistance of this circuit is 20.5 Ohms.
