$$\text { Figure } 6 ^ { \prime } 2$$ -If all of the resistors in Figure 6-2 are 4.7 $\mathrm { k } \Omega$, what is the value of R_T? A) 12.5 $\mathrm { k } \Omega$ B) 4.7 $\mathrm { k } \Omega$ C) 18.8 $\mathrm { k } \Omega$ D) 9.4 $\mathrm { k } \Omega$

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The resistors are in parallel, so the total resistance is the reciprocal of the sum of the reciprocals of the individual resistances.1/R_T = 1/4.7kΩ + 1/4.7kΩ + 1/4.7kΩ1/R_T = 3/4.7kΩR_T = 4.7kΩ / 3R_T = 1.57kΩ
