Question
How will you connect three resistors of resistances 2 Ω, 3 Ω, and 6 Ω to obtain a total resistance of 4 Ω, and 1 Ω?
Solution
To obtain a 4 Ω resistance, connect the 2 Ω resistor in series with the parallel combination of the resistors of values 6 Ω and 3 Ω.
To obtain a 1 Ω resistance, connect all the resistors in parallel.
