Question

Which circuit has the largest equivalent resistance?.

Answer 1

The series circuit has the higher equivalent resistance, but to find the larger equivalent resistance you have to use Ohm's law (V2=I2R2), the power dissipated by the resistor can also be found using P2=I22R2=V22R2. To find the equivalent resistance of the circuit, notice that the parallel connection of R2 and R3 is in series with R1, so the equivalent resistance is Req=R1+(1R2+1R3)−1=1.00Ω+(16.00Ω+113.00Ω)−1=5.10Ω.
