Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
You have three resistors: 10Ω, 5Ω, and 15Ω. Two resistors are connected in series and this series combination is connected in parallel with a 5Ω resistor. Calculate the total resistance of the circuit.
💡 Hint: Use series first, then convert to parallel.
A circuit consists of a 12V battery connected to a combination of 6Ω, 3Ω resistors in parallel and a 10Ω resistor in series with their combined resistance. Find the current through the circuit.
💡 Hint: First find parallel, then combine with series.
