Three 120-ohm resistors are to be connected in four possible ways. Calculate the equivalent resistance for each connecttion. Determine also the power in each case for an impressed emf of 120 volts.

KVL stands for Kirchhoff voltage law. KVL states that the total voltage drops around the loop in any closed electric circuit is equal to the sum of total voltage drop in the same closed loop.

Science and technology incorporate some ideas and techniques of their own to understand a system skilfully and easily. These techniques are called conventions. For example: Sign conventions of mirrors are used to understand the phenomenon of reflection a…
