A parallel circuit with a 20-ohm resistor and a 10-ohm resistor.

Answer 1

let R equal total resistance

1/R = 1/20 + 1/10 = 3/20

R = 20/3 Ω

Answer 2

Thank you for the answer, but how come you didn't finish simplifying the problem!? Wouldn't you get 6.66666667 or something like that!?

Answer 3

When you divide 20 by 3, then yes, you will get 6.66666667. To get a decimal from a fraction, you will have to divide the numerator by the denominator.

Answer 4

But is there anyway u can explain the equation. like how does 1/20 + 1/10 = 3/20

Answer 5

I don't know but I like apples. :)
