Nice explanation robert..not of the solution but of the term ohm...
It is the capital Greek letter Omega, not a horseshoe.
36/11 is 3.45 not 3.27

Hello,
for parallel circuit, as given those resistors,let R1= 12 ohms , R2 = 18 ohms, R3= 6 ohms...
Rtot(R1,R2) = R1R2 / (R1+R2) = (12)(18) / (12+18) = 7.2 ohms,
Rtotal(R1,R2,R3) = 7.2(R3) / (R3 + 7.2) = 7.2(6) / (7.2 + 6) = 3.273 ohms....
Thanks....
they are connected in parallel R=[(R1^-1)+(R2^-1)+(R3^-1)]^-1 R=[(12^-1)+(18^-1)+(6^-1)]^-1 R=3.27 ohms
Since it is parallel, so..
R t o t a l 1 = 1 2 1 + 1 8 1 + 6 1
R t o t a l 1 = 3 6 3 + 2 + 6
R t o t a l 1 = 3 6 1 1
Then..
R t o t a l = 1 1 3 6
R t o t a l = 3 . 2 7 2
Since resistor was connecting in parallel ckt. formula to be use is 1/TotR=1/r1+1/r2+1/r3 1/TotR = 1/6+1/12+1/18 TotR =1/ 0.17r+0.08r+0.05r TotR =1/0.3r =3.33r
Rt1=R1(R2)/R1+R2
Rt=R3(Rt1)/R3+Rt1
first get the initial resistance with last two parallel resistor then lastly same formula to derive with 3.27 ohms
formula for finding combined resistance in parallel circuit is: 1/R= (1/a)+(1/b)+(1/c).... It depends how many resistors are there in the circuit
(1/(1/12 +1/18 +1/6)) = 3.27 ohms
1/Rtot=1/R1 plus 1/R2 Plus 1/R3 since they are parallel. =1/6+1/12+1/18 =11/36 Get the reciprocal 36/11 or 3.27.
these are connect in parell
Formula for parallel resistance in a circuit is 1 ---------------------------------- 1/R1 +1/R2 +1/R3 Substituting the values in above,we get 36/11 = 3.3 Ans K.K.GARG.India

Since the resistors are parallel. We get 1/6+1/12+1/18=11/36. 36/11=3.27ohms/weird horseshoes.
