Find the equivalent resistance in 16 ohms and 8.0 ohms connected in parallel.
R1 = 16 Ohms
R2 = 8 Ohms
Re = R1*R2/(R1+R2)
To find the equivalent resistance of two resistors connected in parallel, you can use the following formula:
1/Requivalent = 1/R1 + 1/R2
Where Requivalent is the equivalent resistance and R1 and R2 are the resistances of the two resistors.
In this case, you have two resistors with resistances of 16 ohms and 8.0 ohms.
Let's plug the values into the formula:
1/Requivalent = 1/16 + 1/8
To simplify the equation, we can find a common denominator:
1/Requivalent = (1/16) + (2/16)
Now, add the fractions:
1/Requivalent = 3/16
To find the equivalent resistance, we need to invert both sides of the equation:
Requivalent = 16/3
The equivalent resistance of a 16 ohm and 8.0 ohm resistor connected in parallel is approximately 5.33 ohms.
