A 120 ohm resistor a 60 ohm resistor and a 40 ohm resistor are connected in parallel to a 120 volt power source What is the effective resistance of the three esistors?
The effective resistance of three resistors, 120 ohm, 60 ohm, and 40 ohm, in parallel is 20 ohms.RP = 1 / sum (1 / RN)RP = 1 / (1 / 120 + 1 / 60 + 1 / 40)RP = 20The voltage applied, 120V, does not change the outcome. The power, however, of the three resistors is 120W, 240W, and 360W respectively. This is a lot of power, so please do not attempt to do it for real.
How do you place 3 resistance to get the total resistance of 1 ohm?
It depends on the resistance of each resistor. If each resistor, for example, is 0.333 ohm, then you could connect them in series. If each resistor, for example, is 3 ohms, then you could connect them in parallel.
How to identify a 470 ohm resistor?
Resistors are color coded to denote the value of the resistor as well as the multiplier. In your case a 470 ohm would be colored as Yellow Violet Brown corresponding to 4, 7 and a multiplier of 10^1.
How can you connect resistors to produce an equivalent resistance which is the same as the resistance of each individual resistor?
You can connect 4 resistors in series-parallel, i.e. two in series, both in parallel with another two, and the effective resistance would be the same as one resistor. Similarly, you can connect nine resistors in 3x3 series-parallel, or 16 resistors in 4x4 series-parallel, etc. to get the same resistance of one resistor.
6 equal resistors of 1 ohm each are connected to form the sides of a hexagon ABCDEF calculate the resistance offered by the combination if the current enters at A and leaves at D?
1.5 ohms. Two 3 ohm resistors in parallel.
