Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You have a 9V battery connected to two parallel branches, each with a 220 Ξ© resistor. If the second branch is replaced with a 110 Ξ© resistor, what is the new equivalent resistance?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Use the parallel resistor formula.

Question 2

In a parallel circuit with four branches (220 Ξ©, 220 Ξ©, 100 Ξ©, and a 330 Ξ© resistor), calculate total current when powered by a 9V battery.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Calculate equivalent resistance first.
