Two conductors with resistance R1 = 150 Ohm and R2 = 100 Ohm are connected in parallel. Calculate their total resistance.
The total resistance of these conductors in parallel connection can be calculated from the formula:
1 / R = 1 / R1 + 1 / R2, where R1 is the resistance of the first conductor (R1 = 150 Ohm), R2 is the resistance of the second conductor (R2 = 100 Ohm).
Let us express and calculate the total resistance of the conductors:
1 / R = 1 / R1 + 1 / R2.
1 / R = (R2 + R1) / (R1 * R2).
R = (R2 * R1) / (R1 + R2) = (150 * 100) / (150 + 100) = 15000/250 = 60 ohms.
Answer: The total resistance of the conductors is 60 ohms.
