Correct Answer: the remaining two will glow with the same brightness as before
Correct Answer: 25 Ω
Explanation:
1/R = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 + 1/R4 1/R = 1/100 + 1/100 + 100 + 1/100 1/R = 4/100 1/R = 1/25 Therefore R = 25 ohm.
Correct Answer: 60 Ω
Explanation:
1/R = (1/470 + 1/220 + 1/100)
R = 59.98 ohm
R = 59.98 ohm
