The characteristics of the series and parallel circuits allow to find the results of the configuration of minimum resistance is

  • Parallel circuit with equivalent resistance is 2.66 Ω

The electrical resistances are elements that serve to control the current in the circuits, they can be connected in two ways:

  • Serie. In this configuration the current has only one path and the equivalent resistance is equal to the sum of all the resistances

        [tex]R_{eq}= \sum R_i[/tex]  

  • Parallel. This configuration the current has several paths, the equivalent resistances given by the expression

         [tex]\frac{1}{R_{eq}} = \sum \frac{1}{R_i}[/tex]

They ask for the lowest value configuration, when examining the two configuration forms, the parallel configuration is the one that gives the lowest equivalent resistance

Indicate R₁= 6  Ω, R₂ = 8 Ω and R₃=12 Ω, in the attachment we can see a configuration of three resistors in parallel

Let's calculate

      .[tex]\frac{1}{R_{eq}} = \frac{1}{R_1} + \frac{1}{R_2} + \frac{1}{R_3}[/tex]

       [tex]\frac{1}{R_{eq}} = \frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{8} + \frac{1}{12}[/tex]  

       [tex]\frac{1}{R_{eq}} = 0.375[/tex]  

       [tex]R_{eq}[/tex] = 2.67 Ω

In conclusion, using the characteristics of series and parallel circuits we can find the results of the configuration of minimum resistance is:

  • Parallel circuit with equivalent resistance is 2.67  Ω
