The correct Answer is:
To find the correct combination of three resistances (1Ω, 2Ω, and 3Ω) that yields an equivalent resistance of \( \frac{11}{5} \)Ω, we will analyze the possible combinations of these resistors in series and parallel. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Combinations**: - We can combine resistors in series and parallel. - The formula for resistors in series is: \[ R_{\text{series}} = R_1 + R_2 + R_3 \] - The formula for resistors in parallel is: \[ \frac{1}{R_{\text{parallel}}} = \frac{1}{R_1} + \frac{1}{R_2} + \frac{1}{R_3} \] 2. **Testing All Combinations**: - We will check different combinations of the given resistors to see which one gives us \( \frac{11}{5} \)Ω. 3. **Combination 1: All in Parallel**: - For \( R_1 = 1Ω, R_2 = 2Ω, R_3 = 3Ω \): \[ \frac{1}{R_{\text{eq}}} = \frac{1}{1} + \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{3} \] \[ \frac{1}{R_{\text{eq}}} = 1 + 0.5 + 0.333 = \frac{11}{6} \] \[ R_{\text{eq}} = \frac{6}{11}Ω \quad \text{(not the correct answer)} \] 4. **Combination 2: 1Ω and 2Ω in Parallel, 3Ω in Series**: - For \( R_1 = 1Ω, R_2 = 2Ω \) in parallel and \( R_3 = 3Ω \) in series: \[ \frac{1}{R_{\text{parallel}}} = \frac{1}{1} + \frac{1}{2} = 1 + 0.5 = \frac{3}{2} \] \[ R_{\text{parallel}} = \frac{2}{3}Ω \] \[ R_{\text{eq}} = R_{\text{parallel}} + R_3 = \frac{2}{3} + 3 = \frac{2}{3} + \frac{9}{3} = \frac{11}{3}Ω \quad \text{(not the correct answer)} \] 5. **Combination 3: 2Ω and 3Ω in Parallel, 1Ω in Series**: - For \( R_1 = 2Ω, R_2 = 3Ω \) in parallel and \( R_3 = 1Ω \) in series: \[ \frac{1}{R_{\text{parallel}}} = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{3}{6} + \frac{2}{6} = \frac{5}{6} \] \[ R_{\text{parallel}} = \frac{6}{5}Ω \] \[ R_{\text{eq}} = R_{\text{parallel}} + R_3 = \frac{6}{5} + 1 = \frac{6}{5} + \frac{5}{5} = \frac{11}{5}Ω \quad \text{(correct answer)} \] ### Conclusion: The correct combination of resistances to achieve an equivalent resistance of \( \frac{11}{5} \)Ω is to connect the 2Ω and 3Ω resistors in parallel and then connect the 1Ω resistor in series with them.

To find the correct combination of three resistances (1Ω, 2Ω, and 3Ω) that yields an equivalent resistance of \( \frac{11}{5} \)Ω, we will analyze the possible combinations of these resistors in series and parallel. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Combinations**: - We can combine resistors in series and parallel. - The formula for resistors in series is: \[ ...
