When two resistors are combined in parallel, the equivalent resistance is given by:
1/Req = 1/R1 + 1/R2
Where Req is the equivalent resistance and R1 and R2 are the resistances of the individual resistors. In this case, R1 = R2 = 5.0 ohms, so we can substitute these values and simplify:
1/Req = 1/5.0 + 1/5.0
1/Req = 0.4
Req = 1/0.4
Req = 2.5 ohms
Therefore, when two 5.0 ohm resistors are combined in parallel, the equivalent resistance is 2.5 ohms.
