In the circuit below, R1 = 4 Ohms, R2 = 6 Ohms, and R3 = 2 Ohms. The total resistance of the circuit is ________ Ohms.

Answer:

you didnt state if its a parallel or a series circuit

Explanation:

if in series

add the Resistance

Rt = R1 + R2 + R3

Rt = 4 + 6 + 2

Rt = 12ohms

however if in parallel.

1/Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3

[tex]resistance \: in \: parrall \: (total) = ( \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{2}) ^{ - 1} \\ rt = (\frac{3 + 2 + 6}{12} ) ^{ - 1} \\ rt = ( \frac{11}{12} ) ^{ - 1} \\ rt = \frac{12}{11} \\ rt = 1.09ohms[/tex]
