When two resistors of resistances R1 and...

When two resistors of resistances `R_1 and R_2` are connected in parallel, the net resistance is `3 Omega`. When connected in series, its value is `16 Omega`. Calculate the values of `R_1 and R_2`.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to find the values of two resistors \( R_1 \) and \( R_2 \) given the conditions for their resistances when connected in parallel and in series. ### Step 1: Write the equations for series and parallel combinations. 1. When connected in series, the total resistance \( R_s \) is: \[ R_s = R_1 + R_2 = 16 \, \Omega \quad \text{(Equation 1)} \] ...
