<h2>Answer:</h2>

786Ω and 20.32Ω respectively.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

(a) Given a number of resistors each with its own resistance, the largest resistance can be obtained when these resistors are connected in series.

From the question, the resistors have the following resistances;

36.0-Ω, 50.0-Ω , and 700-Ω

Now, when they are connected in series, the total resistance (R) obtainable is given by the sum of these individual resistances as follows;

R = 36.0-Ω + 50.0-Ω + 700-Ω

R = 786Ω

Therefore, the largest resistance that can be obtained by connecting  a 36.0-Ω , a 50.0-Ω , and a 700-Ω resistor together is 786Ω

(b) Similarly, given a number of resistors each with its own resistance, the smallest resistance can be obtained when these resistors are connected in parallel.

From the question, the resistors have the following resistances;

36.0-Ω, 50.0-Ω , and 700-Ω

Now, when they are connected in parallel, the total resistance (R) obtainable is given by using the relation as follows;

\frac{1}{R} = \frac{1}{36.0} + \frac{1}{50.0} + \frac{1}{700.0}

\frac{1}{R} = \frac{35000+25200+1800}{1260000}

\frac{1}{R} = \frac{62000}{1260000}

\frac{1}{R} = \frac{62}{1260}

R = \frac{1260}{62}

R = 20.32Ω

Therefore, the smallest resistance that can be obtained by connecting  a 36.0-Ω , a 50.0-Ω , and a 700-Ω resistor together is 20.32Ω

Wind turbines work on a simple principle: instead of using electricity to make wind—like a fan—wind turbines use wind to make electricity. Wind turns the propeller-like blades of a turbine around a rotor, which spins a generator, which creates electricity.
