To find the resistance that must be connected to a 15 Ω resistor to provide an effective resistance of 6 Ω, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Configuration Since the effective resistance (6 Ω) is less than one of the resistances (15 Ω), we can conclude that the two resistances are connected in parallel. ### Step 2: Write Down the Formula for Parallel Resistance The formula for the effective resistance (R_P) of two resistors R_1 and R_2 in parallel is given by: \[ ...
