Three resistors, 40 $\Omega$, 60 $\Omega$, and 50 $\Omega$, are wired in series and connected to a 120-V battery. What is the equivalent resistance for this circuit?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the equivalent resistance for resistors in series, you simply add the resistances of each individual resistor. Adding the resistances of the three resistors, we get:

40 + 60 + 50 = 150 ohms

Therefore, the equivalent resistance for this circuit is 150 ohms. Answer choice A is the correct choice.
