If Two Resistors with Resistances R1R_{1} And R2R_{2} Are Connected in Parallel, as in the Figure, Then the in Parallel

Question 15

Multiple Choice

If two resistors with resistances R1R_{1} and R2R_{2} are connected in parallel, as in the figure, then the total resistance RR measured in ohms ( Ω\Omega ) , is given by 1R=1R1+1R2\frac{1}{R}=\frac{1}{R_{1}}+\frac{1}{R_{2}} . If R1R_{1} and R2R_{2} are increasing at rates of 0.1Ω/s0.1 \Omega / s and 0.2Ω/s0.2 \Omega / s respectively, how fast is RR changing when R1=75R_{1}=75 and R2=100R_{2}=100 ?
Round the result to the nearest thousandth.  If two resistors with resistances  R_{1}  and  R_{2}  are connected in parallel, as in the figure, then the total resistance  R  measured in ohms ( \Omega ) , is given by  \frac{1}{R}=\frac{1}{R_{1}}+\frac{1}{R_{2}}  . If  R_{1}  and  R_{2}  are increasing at rates of  0.1 \Omega / s  and  0.2 \Omega / s  respectively, how fast is  R  changing when  R_{1}=75  and  R_{2}=100  ?
