Answer:
1 ohm
Explanation:
since there are two identical resistors, one resistor will be
R = [tex]\frac{4}{2}[/tex] =2ohm [ proven as in series [tex]R_{e} = 2 + 2 = 4ohm[/tex] ]
to calculate the equivalent resistance when in parallel:
[tex]\frac{1}{R_{e} } = \frac{1}{R_{1} } + \frac{1}{R_{2}}[/tex]
so,
[tex]\frac{1}{R_{e} } = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2}[/tex]
[tex]R_{e} = 1ohm[/tex]
