To solve the problem of connecting three resistors (2 Ω, 3 Ω, and 5 Ω) such that the total resistance is less than 1 Ω, we will connect them in parallel. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understanding Parallel Resistance When resistors are connected in parallel, the total (or equivalent) resistance \( R \) can be calculated using the formula: \[ \frac{1}{R} = \frac{1}{R_1} + \frac{1}{R_2} + \frac{1}{R_3} \] where \( R_1, R_2, \) and \( R_3 \) are the resistances of the individual resistors. ...
