The resistors are connected in parallel in the circuit. One with a resistance of 2 ohms, the other 4 ohms.

The resistors are connected in parallel in the circuit. One with a resistance of 2 ohms, the other 4 ohms. What is the total resistance of this section of the chain?

1. For two resistors connected in parallel, the total resistance can be determined by the formula:
Rtot = (R1 * R2) / (R1 + R2);

2. Determine the equivalent circuit resistance for the initial conditions of the problem:

Rtot = (2 * 4) / (2 + 4) = 1.33 Ohm.

Answer: 1.33 ohms.
