Question : 21
Total: 67
Calculate the total resistance across AB:
Solution:  
The resistors 3 and 6 are in parallel. If their equivalent resistance is Rp, then
1
Rp
=
1
3
+
1
6

1
Rp
=
2+1
6
=
3
6

1
Rp
=
1
2

or Rp=2
Now, Rp and 5 are in series,
So, R s=2+5
=7
Thus the total resistance across AB=7
