Resistors in series and parallel

", "licence": "All rights reserved"}, "statement": "

Calculate the total resistance of the following series and parallel circuits.

", "advice": "

The resistors in branch A are in series with each other, therefore: Total resistance in branch A =  1 k$\\Omega$+2 k$\\Omega$ = 3 k$\\Omega$

\n

Similarly for branch B: Total resistance in branch B =  1 k$\\Omega$+3 k$\\Omega$ = 4 k$\\Omega$

\n

The resistors in branch A are in parallel to resistors in branch B, therefore the total resistance is: \\[\\frac{1}{R_{tot}} = \\frac{1}{4000}+\\frac{1}{3000} = \\frac{7}{12000}\\,\\Omega\\\\ R_{tot}=\\frac{12000}{7}=1.71\\,k\\Omega\\] to 2 decimal places.
