Three resistors with values 1.1 , 3.4 , and 5.8 are connected in parallel in a circuit with a 6.4 battery.

What is the total equivalent resistance?
R = ohms

It does not matter what the voltage is when computing the equivalent resistance, Req.

1/Req = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3

Solve for Req. Compute 1/Req first and then take the reciprocal (one-over) of that. req = 1/(1/Req)

It does not matter what the voltage is when computing the equivalent resistance, Req.

1/Req = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3

Solve for Req. Compute 1/Req first and then take the reciprocal (one-over) of that. Req = 1/(1/Req)

To find the total equivalent resistance of resistors connected in parallel, you can use the formula:

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

In this case, you have three resistors connected in parallel with values of 1.1Ω, 3.4Ω, and 5.8Ω. Using the formula, you can find the reciprocal of each resistor value and add them together:

1/R = 1/1.1 + 1/3.4 + 1/5.8

To calculate the sum, you need to find a common denominator. The least common denominator for 1.1, 3.4, and 5.8 is 62.8. Now you can rewrite the equation with the common denominator:

1/R = 62.8/1.1 + 62.8/3.4 + 62.8/5.8

Simplifying each fraction:

1/R = 57.09 + 18.47 + 10.83

Adding the fractions:

1/R ≈ 86.39

To find the total equivalent resistance (R), you need to take the reciprocal of both sides of the equation:

R ≈ 1/86.39

R ≈ 0.0116 Ω

Therefore, the total equivalent resistance of the three resistors connected in parallel is approximately 0.0116 ohms.
