OpenStudy (sleepyhead314):

It's physics, sorry but I don't know how to do that have you tried asking in the physics section? and if anything, you can tag hartnn, hartnn is really smart

OpenStudy (anonymous):

np

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@hartnn

hartnn (hartnn):

you know how to combine series and parallel resistances?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup i know...and i know how to solve this but i just couldn't get the right answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

plz solve this for me...i need to check what i'm doing wrong

OpenStudy (amistre64):

would the resistance from A to B be the total resistance of the system? or am i having a bad thought ...

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i see no voltage in the systen

hartnn (hartnn):

please show your work and we will find the error

hartnn (hartnn):

yes R_AB is total resistance of the system and its given to be 65

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@hartnn its difficult to write on this just gimme the solution plz

hartnn (hartnn):

you can write in statements like "i did 120 || 40 and i got ..."

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got the answer 39.something but the actual one is 46.somthing

OpenStudy (amistre64):

we have 3 parallels .... recently started learning this stuff myself

hartnn (hartnn):

okay! i will guide you through the process first find 120 || 40 because 120 and 40 are in parallel what do u get ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i did this (120 || 40 || R + 5) + R

hartnn (hartnn):

thats correct

hartnn (hartnn):

be careful with brackets its (120 || 40 || (R + 5)) + R

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if thats correct than y i'm not getting the right answer

hartnn (hartnn):

lets go step by step 120 || 40 is ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont feel like going step by step...coz i've sooooo much to study sooooooo little time...just solve this i'll check my mistakes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*i've got

hartnn (hartnn):

in that case, i can't help you, sorry buddy :)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

can we do the parallel in one shot?\[\frac1{R_p}=\frac1{R_1}+\frac1{R_2}+\frac1{R_3}+...\] or do we have to split it into parts?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@hartnn yar ab tu aesa kare ga?

hartnn (hartnn):

both ways work fine amistre

hartnn (hartnn):

then calculate 120 || 40 it doesn't take more than 10 seconds :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4/120

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ahhh forget it i'll ask someone else other than this site...this site never helped me

hartnn (hartnn):

right, we're helpful to only those who want to learn :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u have a wrong thinking of who wants to learn and who doesn't

hartnn (hartnn):

do you want to learn ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i do but what i'm asking u can u do it or not?

hartnn (hartnn):

so lets continue what did u say 120 ||40 = ... ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes or no?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

bye bye

hartnn (hartnn):

your wish :)

@CO_oLBoY If you are going to post a question, expect to recieve the help you need. Learn manners before you post a next one because that was just rude.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i did the que myself...thank you all for NOT helping me
