Three resistors each having value 'R' are connected as shown in the figure. What is the equivalent resistance between 'X' and 'Y'?
- A
R
- B
R/3
- C
3R
- D
R3
The resistors are connected in series so their equivalent resistance would be the sum of resistances of all resistors.
R+R+R=3R.
As per the calculation, this option is incorrect.
As per the calculation, this option is incorrect.
The resistors are connected in series so their equivalent resistance would be the sum of resistances of all resistors. So,
Req = R + R + R
Simplifying the expression:
Req = 3R
Therefore, the equivalent resistance of the three resistors connected in series is 3R.
As per the calculation, this option is incorrect.
