19.3 Parallel Circuits
A 10-Ω resistor is connected in parallel to another resistor R . The equivalent resistance of the pair is 8 Ω. What is the resistance R?
- 10 Ω
- 20 Ω
- 30 Ω
- 40 Ω
Are the resistors shown connected in parallel or in series? Explain.
- The resistors are connected in parallel because the same current flows through all three resistors.
- The resistors are connected in parallel because different current flows through all three resistors.
- The resistors are connected in series because the same current flows through all three resistors.
- The resistors are connected in series because different current flows through all three resistors.
