Answer to Question #133865 in Electric Circuits for MAX

Question

two resistances 2 ohm and 4 ohm are connected in series and a 4 ohm is in parallel between two points find equivalent resistance.

Answer 1

2 resistors in series, so equivalent resistance$=2+4=6\Omega$

The one connected in parallel, so equivalent resistance$=\frac{6\times 4}{6+4}=2.4\Omega$
