Three resistors are connected to a 6 V battery as shown in the figure given below :

Calculate :
the equivalent resistance of the circuit.

Explanation

In the given ciruit, `8Omegaand12Omega` are connected in parallel.
`therefore1/R_(1)=1/8+1/12=(3+2)/24=5/24`
`R_(1)=4.8`ohm.
Total resistance = 4.8 + 7.2 = 12 ohm
