a 16ohm resistor is connected in series with a parallel combination of two resistors one of which has an ohmic value of 48ohms the other one R being unknown. WHat is the resistance R if the power taken by the 16ohm unit is equal to the power in parallel connected pair of resistor?

Question

rane · Answer

u can find R(t) in parallel using :
 = (R^-1 + R^-1..)^-1

since there are 4 resistors in total of 16ohms
