Question

If a  100, 220$\Omega$ . and  330 resistor are connected in series, total resistance equals
A) 1650$\Omega$ 
B) the average of the three values 
C) less than 100 $\Omega$ 
D) 650$\Omega$

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When resistors are connected in series, the total resistance is simply the sum of their individual resistances. Therefore, the total resistance in this case would be 220 + 330 = 550$\Omega$. However, it is important to note that the answer choices given are not all correct, and the correct answer is not listed. The closest answer choice is D, 650$\Omega$, which is the closest estimate to the actual total resistance of 550$\Omega$. Choice B, the average of the three values, is not a valid option as it does not take into account the fact that the resistors are in series. Choice C, less than 100$\Omega$, is not possible as the sum of the two given resistances is already greater than 100$\Omega$.
