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

let R equal total resistance

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

R = 20/3 Ω
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!?
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.
But is there anyway u can explain the equation. like how does 1/20 + 1/10 = 3/20
I don't know but I like apples. :)
