The effective resistance is the reciprocal of

1/4 + 1/3 + 1/6 =

3/12 + 4/12 + 2/12 =

9/12 Siemens

The reciprocal is 12/9 ohms.

That's 4/3 or 1.333 ohms.

Answer:

1 1/3 or 1.33333

Explanation:

First of all, you should note that the answer will be smaller than the smallest resistor. That means that the answer should be less than 3. Let's see if it is.

1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 = 1/Rt

  • R1 = 4
  • R2 = 3
  • R3 = 6

All resistors are in ohms.

1/4 + 1/3 + 1/6 = 1/Rt   You could do this using decimals, but the usual way is to use fractions.

The Common Denominator is 12

3/12 + 4/12 + 2/12 = 1/Rt

9/12 = 1/Rt                           Turn 9/12 upside down

12/9 = Rt

1 3/9 = RT

1 1/3 = Rt

1.3333 = Rt

The answer is under 3 so we know it should be right.

What must the charge (sign and magnitude) of a 3.45 g particle be for it to remain stationary when placed in a downward-directed
Pani-rosa [81]

     charge must be equal to 5.74 ×10⁻⁵

 In the question it is said that the particle remains stationary which means the the net force on the particle is zero. So, the counterbalancing forces must be equal which means weight is equal to upward electric force.

     →    Fnet =0

     →    mg =  qE

 substituting the values we get :

         0.00345 × 9.81 =  q × 590

   →       q = 5.74 ×10⁻⁵

    Hence the charge must be equal to   5.74 ×10⁻⁵.
