Find out the following in the electric circuit given in Figure:

Effective resistance of two 8 `omega` resistors in the combination

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Since two 8 `omega` resistors are in parallel, then their effective resistance `R_(p)` is given by
`(1)/(R_(p))=(1)/(R_(1))+(1)/(R_(2))=1/8+1/8=1/4`
`R_(p)=4 omega`
