Why is the following situation impossible? A technician is testing a circuit that contains a resistance R. He realizes that a better design for the circuit would include a resistance 73R rather than R. He has three additional resistors, each with resistance R. By combining these additional resistors in a certain combination that is then placed in series with the original resistor, he achieves the desired resistance.
