Question 15

Current Electricity

What is the resultant resistance of the circuit in the diagram?

Diagram for this question
  1. A.11Ω
  2. B.4Ω
  3. C.8Ω
  4. D.3.6Ω
Show the answer and explanation

Answer: C (8Ω)

Explanation

The two 2 Ω resistors in parallel give 1 Ω. Adding 3 Ω and 4 Ω in series: 3 + 1 + 4 = 8 Ω.
