To find the equivalent resistance of the combination of resistors shown below by the method of possibly repeated applications of combining resistors in series and /or combining resistors in parallel,the first step would be which of the following?
A)Combine the 6.0 Ω and the 7.0 Ω in series.
B)Combine either the 4.0 Ω and the 10.0 Ω in parallel or the 7.0 Ω and the 10.0 Ω in parallel first,since either could be the first step with the other the second step.
C)Combine the 4.0 Ω and the 10.0 Ω in series.
D)Combine the 6.0 Ω,the 4.0 Ω,and the 10.0 Ω in series in a single step.
