Question
Find the total resistance of 5 resistors connected in parallel if current is at 2.5 Amps.R1 = 3 Ω R2 = 2.5 Ω R3 = 1.5 Ω R4 = 5 Ω R5 = 1 Ω
Solution
In a parallel circuit, the total resistance (Rt) can be found using the formula:
1/Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 + 1/R4 + 1/R5
Substituting the given values:
1/Rt = 1/3 + 1/2.5 + 1/1.5 + 1/5 + 1/1
1/Rt = 0.33 + 0.4 + 0.67 + 0.2 + 1
1/Rt = 2.6
Therefore, the total resistance Rt = 1 / 2.6 = 0.38 Ohms.
