Consider the circuit shown in the figure below. Here, R1 = 2.00 Ω, R2 = 10.00 Ω, R3 = 5.00 Ω, R4 = 4.00 Ω, R5 = 3.00 Ω, and emf = 8.00 V. (a) Calculate the equivalent resistance of the R2 = 10.00 Ω and R3 = 5.00 Ω, resistors connected in parallel. (b) Using the result of part (a), calculate the combined resistance of the R2 = 10.00 Ω , R3 = 5.00 Ω , and R4 = 4.00 Ω resistors. (c) Calculate the equivalent resistance of the combined resistance found in part (b) and the parallel R5 = 3.00 Ω resistor.
Ohm's law
Ohm’s law is a prominent concept in physics and electronics. It gives the relation between the current and the voltage. It is used to analyze and construct electrical circuits. Ohm's law states that the voltage across a conductor is directly proportional to the current flowing through it.
Path of Least Resistance
In a series of alternate pathways, the direction of least resistance is the actual or metaphorical route that offers the least resistance to forwarding motion by a given individual or body.
