The equivalent resistance of the circuit is 8.6 Ω.
What is resistance?
Resistance can be defined as the opposition to current flow in an electric circuit. The S.I unit of resistance is ohms.
To calculate the equivalent resistance, we use the formula below.
Formula:
- R' = R₁+(R₂//R₃)................ Equation 1
Where:
- R' = Equivalent resistance of the circuit.
From the diagram,
Given:
- R₁ = 5 .00 Ω
- R₂ = 9.00 Ω
- R₃ = 6.00 Ω
Substitute these values into equation 1
- R' = 5+(9//6)
- R' = 5+[(9×6)/(9+6)]
- R' = 5+[54/15]
- R' = 5+3.6
- R' = 8.6 Ω
Hence, The equivalent resistance of the circuit is 8.6 Ω
