Question

Two resistors, 5.0 ohm's each can be combined to give an equivalent resistance of​

Answer 1

Answer:

2 possible answers:

1# 2.5 Ω (when the resistors are in parallel)

2# 10 Ω (when the resistors are in series)

Explanation:

there are two possible answers for this:

1# if the resistors are in parallel in the circuit

then:

1/R-equivalent=1/5+1/5

1/R-equivalent=2/5

R-equivalent=5/2=2.5 Ω

2# if the resistors are in series in the circuit

then:

R-equivalent=5+5

R-equivalent=10 Ω
