Three resistors, 50-$\varOmega$, 120-$\varOmega$, 180-$\varOmega$, are connected in series in a circuit. What is the equivalent resistance of this combination of resistors?
A)350 $\varOmega$
B)250 $\varOmega$
C)200 $\varOmega$
D)120 $\varOmega$
E)29 $\varOmega$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When resistors are connected in series, their resistances add up. So, the equivalent resistance of the combination is 50 + 120 + 180 = 350 ohms.
