If three resistors 2ohm,3ohms and 5ohm are connected in parrallel in a circuit,calculate the equivalent resistance of the combination
In a parallel circuit, the equivalent resistance can be found using the formula:
1/R_eq = 1/R_1 + 1/R_2 + 1/R_3
In this case, R_1 = 2 ohms, R_2 = 3 ohms, and R_3 = 5 ohms.
1/R_eq = 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/5
1/R_eq = 15/30 + 10/30 + 6/30
1/R_eq = (15 + 10 + 6) / 30
1/R_eq = 31/30
Now, we need to find R_eq:
R_eq = 30/31
The equivalent resistance of the parallel combination of the 2 ohm, 3 ohm, and 5 ohm resistors is 30/31 ohms.
