Two resistors with resistance 100 Ω and 4 700 Ω, respectively, are connected in parallel in a
circuit. The total resistance of the circuit is:
The formula for calculating the total resistance (Rt) of resistors in parallel is:
1/Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + ...
In this case, we have two resistors:
R1 = 100 Ω
R2 = 4,700 Ω
Plugging these values into the formula:
1/Rt = 1/100 + 1/4700
Calculating the sum:
1/Rt = 0.01 + 0.00021
1/Rt = 0.01021
Taking the inverse:
Rt = 1/0.01021
Rt ≈ 97.97 Ω
Therefore, the total resistance of the circuit is approximately 97.97 Ω.
