Question
You have three resistors of values 2Ω, 3Ω and 5Ω. How will you join them so that the total resistance is more than 7Ω?
1) Draw a diagram for the arrangement
2) Calculate the equivalent resistance.
Solution
To get total resistance more than 7Ω. We can connect 2Ω,3Ω and 5Ω in series.
1)
2)
`R_"equivalent"` = 2 + 3 + 5 = 10Ω
