Question

If four resistors, each of the value $0.5ohm$ are connected in series, then the total resistance of the circuit is

Answer 1

Step 1: Given

Number of resistors$=4$

Resistance$=R_1=R_2=R_3=R_4=0.5\Omega$

Step 2: Determine the total resistance

In a series combination, the total resistance can be calculated by adding all the individual resistances,

$$\begin{gathered} R_{total}=R_1+R_2+R_3+R_4 \\ =0.5+0.5+0.5+0.5 \\ =2\Omega \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the total resistance of the circuit is $2\Omega$.
